Chris,
I would be interested hearing your experiences with this cam. I have
been thinking of using the Piper 270 in my rebuild, but I am
considered about tractability. Will this cam idle at 1000rpm or
below? Did you have any problems with clearance to the valve cut-outs
in the block? Some mag. articles have suggested that you have to
grind these cut outs to provide clearance with a higher lift cam while
others seem to ignore this point. I would appreciate opinions from
other listers who are using this cam as well.

Chris,
I just put one in this fall and the car runs great. The cam is very
streetable. My car wouldn't idle below 1,000 rpm prior to the cam and seems
to idle about the same now-it's a carb problem. No extra machine work on the
block was needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!! Good luck!
