Looking for some advice on a stock sbc 350 build
Cliff Ruggles:
Here is a pic of my favorite timing sets, with steel sprockets and heat treated gears. Very rare these days but the very best timing sets ever made for these engines.....IMHO...

Any recommendations on what shift points to set with this combo from my first post? I'm considering modifying the governor in the th350 but I'm not for sure what the ideal rpm I should shoot for in regards to shift points with this cam/engine combo.

Somewhere between 4500 and 5000. That is a pretty small cam on the .050 numbers. Pretty close to a stock late 70s truck cam, so no need to rev it out. Heck, I would just leave to Governor stock and see how it does.

Thank you for the information I appreciate it. It currently is shifting around 2500 or so 1st-2nd, 3500 2nd-3rd at WOT so I'm looking to extend both of those out quite a bit further. Very snappy and pulls great but can always try for more. I believe each governor is calibrated to the application it was initially intended for so it may have just been the factory preset for that particular vehicle, whatever this th350 came out of.
Mudsport96:
With that info, and the info from the first post saying you have 4.10s, it sounds like you have the same issue my nova has. The calibrations for the governor is for a highway gear. So it is spinning faster and thinks that your road speed is way higher than it really is. I just manually shift the car if I am really wanting to get into the secondaries. You could try trimming or grinding the weights to see if that helps some.
