327F Camshaft Info

Hi Guys

As an update for my commander 23, my engine is nearly done.. As I discussed earlier I want to be putting in a new cam... My engine builder seems to think there might be something goofy with the cam, something about a reverse grind or something. He said that sometimes with the gear drive they either made reverse drive gears or they actually ground the cam backwards, the latter would cause problems in finding a cam..

Again, I might be talking out of my caboose a little bit because I am used to engines with overhead cams..

So any information on a 327F would be appreciated. BY the way he offered me a trade for my 327 for a marine 454.. It took all my will power not to do that, but I gotta keep this thing original.. Apparently this was one of the good 327's with the steel crank, large journals, the good heads and all that fun stuff.. Go Chris Craft!!!!

Thanks a bunch guys,

Wes Stinson
Commander 23
