Will I be able to put a turbo cam, and lfiters in a non turbo block?.. are these the same... or would I benefit from the cam? Also, if I purchase rolle rrockers do I ahve to put those on my stock rocker assembly bar?

Yep, but it's not all the radical. Cam specs are listed on www.gnttype.org (http://www.gnttype.org) in the Quick Reference section.

I'd think a good N/A cam might do you better if you have some compression. As far as the roller rockers, they come as a complete assembly (and you might have to "touch" the pedestals a bit with a grinder for clearance of the rockers).

BTW, can you send me your Featured Car info again for the GN/TType site? I think I lost it while cleaning up stuff for the impending site migration.

Send it directly to me kmosher@appauto.com ... thanks!

The engine currently in my pickup is
8:1 comp with an Edelbrock intake and a 204/214 @ .050"
.448" int/.472" exh all going through manifolds and a cat.
Its making approx 160 HP on pump gas. I think
you'd find the turbo cam to be too small for a performance
naturally aspirated V6. I'm almost done building
the next engine. The cam in that one is rated for .496" lift
intake and exhaust. More to go.... :add_schac
