Hey guys! I’m really wanting to build a 348 stroker, but am curious about the cam. I have a NOS Racer Brown roller cam setup and am not sure if I can use that if I plan on stroking it. Thoughts?

That thing almost certainly isn't the "best" or "right" or most modern cam for your stroker, but is no doubt the "coolest". I'm assuming that the entire setup can be put in working order, lifters, etc. I only have experience with one Racer Brown roller, that was in a 358" small block Mopar, and it was an excellent piece 40+ years ago! Chrysler was very much involved with Racer Brown and Camcraft if I remember correctly.
I would be tempted to run it unless you plan some sort of serious competition or it is damaged.

It and all it’s components are in mint shape. NOS. I will 100% run it if it’s compatible with making the motor a stroker.
Now that's a name that I haven't heard in a long time.
Guess you can give it a try, any cam you pick you will need to check valve to piston clearance.
Did any of you guys run their plastic lifters?

Good man! If you change your mind, I can tell you where to send it, no problem. It would be nice to get an "official" version of the specs, or to get it profiled.
That company doesn't show that particular grind, and I am not sure what their actual connection back to the original company is...I saw that same link and read some pros and cons online, but I didn't see anything that was convincing yet...pretty interesting reading, however. Old catalogs or literature might have some clues.
