Response to 327Q Camshaft Question

Derek where to start based on the information you provided I cant really give you much except the price makes me suspicious. My 350 Q cam cost me around 150 with lifters and pushrods and trust me lifters and pushrods are not that expensive the Q motor is not as different as everyone thinks it is but its not normal either. To be honest I do not know if it takes a unique cam or not I just know I didnt take any chances and ordered one from Robert Henkel up in Michigan. He had what I thought was a reasonable price on it so I bought it. The least expensive cam I saw for marine use on summits site was a comp cam for an SBC at $119.00 and it is your basic cam. First you need to know your motor is it a Q or QL model or left or right hand rotation looking at the front of the motor where the flywheel goes facing the flywheel does it turn clockwise or counter clockwise? That determines the direction or if you have the original exhaust manifolds with the chris craft plates they will have the model on them. (Hoping no one ever switched them) oh wait does it have a timing chain or gears? I almost forgot one of the easy ways you have it apart chain is a Q gears is a QL. But I can give you this markweller at sbcglobal dot net hopefully you can figure that out. Or 440 887-7912 if am not home leave a msg I will get back to you. Also try to find your receipt from the engine guy who sold you the cam try to find a part number or if you have the box it came in look at that the number you gave didnt get me anything on google so let me know what you have if you can.
