Cam Bearing Question

[Heavy Z]

Hello, I'm putting a comp cams XE268 in my 327 but the cam bearing is wrong for this cam. Any ideas on which bearing I need?

 

Thanks,

please define "bearing is wrong for this cam"

Thanks for being around, grumpyvette. Here's the deal:

A speedshop in town is installing the cam. When they took the old cam out, they found that the front cam bearing was worn, so they ordered a new cam bearing set. They called and said that the bearing they ordered doesn't fit with this cam. Did these guys just get the wrong bearing, or are there a few different sizes to choose from? As I said, it's a comp cams XE268.

 

Thanks,

The cam mates to the block, the cam is just a cam unless you got the wrong cam for your engine.

 

Those guys are morons then, and THEY ordered the part not you, so its THIER fault.

 

If you got the right cam for your engine, they got the wrong freaking bearings.

Thanks everyone for the help. I'm gonna check the cam against another XE268 on monday, and if they match, then my mechanic got the wrong bearings.
