30/30 Fuelie Cam

[Michael M.]

What manufacture makes an exact grind like the 30/30 fuelie cam. Also, is the 302 Z/28 GM part #3849346 the same part number as the fuelie cam used in corvettes.

The early 1967-69 Z-28 cam, GM #3849346, was the same as the 1964-65 SHP 327 Corvette cam.

I don't know who offers a reproduction of this cam.

Joe,

Thank you.
All the fuel injection owners, what manufacture are you using to replace your original camshaft.

Re: 30/30 Fuelie Cam

I would call Crane cams if you cannot find in the Federal-Mogul/Speed-Pro line-up. They should have it in their "Blueprint" series. Some info I have seen indicates Crane made this cam for GM service in later years. But I cannot guarantee this.

Re: 30/30 Fuelie Cam

Philip —— If you have time to be patient, I may have a new TRW 30-30 cam that has been in the box for many years. This would be a high quality exact duplicate of the GM cam. I am in Florida now but I will be back home in mid Feb. Let me know if you want me to look for it.

Patrick
The cam would be for the OP, Michael Mytro (22211), not me. I was only trying to help with an alternate.

Re: 30/30 Fuelie Cam

Sorry about the confusion, if you are interested in a TRW 30-30 cam, Michael let me know. TRW was the original aftermarket manufacturer of GM cams. Federal Mogul/Speed Pro bought that part of their business years ago, and now the high quality Federal Mogul parts are hard to find. Many of the Chevrolet original parts such as the forged pistons in special high performance engines were made by TRW.

Michael, An exact grind of the 30-30 is made by Elgin Industries.
Parts # E-901-P = 30-30
Now you didn't ask this but Elgin makes an exact grind for the '57-'63 Corvettes with the'097 cam. E-900-P
Don Baker has recommended this two cams to me for many years.
Not sure who handles them.

John,

Thank you, I will do the research.

Re: 30/30 Fuelie Cam

It's interesting that the 30-30 cam was discontinued in the early seventies and the LT-1 cam was specified in the P & A catalogs as the replacement cam for all previous 30-30 applications, which would be the '64-'65 365/375 HP Corvette engines and the '67-'69 302 CID Z-28 engine.

The Duntov cam continued to be offered by GM for many years at least well into the 1980s.

Re: 30/30 Fuelie Cam

In my younger days I had a 57 Corvette with the 30-30 cam. The motor was a .090 over 283 with small valve heads. It was a blast to drive.
Always with the top down and with an open air-cleaner and the loud exhaust it always seemed like you were going way faster than you really were.
I got ticketed once because they heard me. No proof of anything, except, of course, they were correct in their assumption.
For me it was a great cam with lots of good times. Including a trip through the tunnel, located not to far from here. The road was often damp, and with a check for traffic first, we would stop inside the tunnel and dump the clutch. The assault on the senses was nothing but fun!
I still grin every time I drive through it in our Honda CRV. Lol. Or even in the C6 with the windows down. Just not the same as 6000 rpm SBC talking to ya!

Actually, much later than the 80's. The GM #3972178 was available at least through 2001 but I do not have an exact date and year of its discontinuation.

Re: 30/30 Fuelie Cam

Yeah, I knew that the LT-1 came (3972178) was in the GMPD system well after the eighties, but my comment was about the Duntov cam (3736097). I don't think it lasted as long as the LT-1 cam, but it probably spent more total time in service parts since it was already 13 years old when the LT-1 cam was released.
