No but very close, the exhaust duration is 10* less, and the lift on 1.6 rockers is a bit less. with 1.7s it would be just a bit more.

There's a guy over at bionic that suggested I do the same with my die grinder. Swore he did it on an engine and every cylinder came in within 3 psi of each other. I'm not that brave. Perhaps if the truck ever become a spare beater.

It should. It's very similar to the 210X cam.

I say should because the 360 has a dished piston that offers valve relief that the 318 does not have. So long as that dish is .030 deeper than the surface, it should work. I would be remiss in telling you not to verify by measuring though.

I degreed the thing in and it was only ground about 1/2* off, which is about as close as you could possibly ask for.


As with any non-stock cam, you've gotta make sure you have correct push rod length or adjustable rocker arms to get the valve lash correct.

pretty sure that cam will work with the 1.7's on a 360. .544 is the max lift you can go on the 360.

so what you gonna do with the cam? might be interested if the price is right.

Max lift is NEVER the issue. You could extend the valve the entire length of the valve and never hit the piston at max lift. Its the timing events around the valve overlap you must be careful of. I still think it would work on a 360, if I knew how deep the dish is I could tell you abosolutely yes or no.
