I can get one at a really good deal. Guy pulled it out of his crate engine, brand new. He wants $50 for it. Not bad for a roller cam. Thing is, all I have is a 400 small block or a 350 I can put it in? But I don't know if it's a retro-fit style camshaft.

'Fraid not cutter.

Look on the snout of the ZZ4 cam. It should have a machined step on it. This is the area the factory cam retention plate mates to. The cam retention plate is bolted to the front of the block.

Gen 1 small blocks have no provisions for the later model cams' retention plate. Have to go with a retro roller cam and run a button.

scratch that thought....brandon

Damn, I was afraid of that.

You can run it if you use the late model timing chain and add cam button, but the problem is that the retro lifters are going to break the bank.
