Response to 2nd to rear cam journal is what matters here

 

The cam bearing bores are larger on the 61 to 68 models. Therefore, the cam bearings will not interchange and neither will the cams. If you have a early block and a late cam,,,your screwed. Trysu me on this, I know. Been there, done that, have the T-shirt.

P.S. the size of the cam bearing has zero relationship to the valve lift.
