Best Answer

It would be best to have this conversation with the person that installed the cam.

The general rule of thumb that applies to any cam in any car is to set the intake valve rocker when the exhaust valve just starts to open, and set the exhaust valve rocker after the intake starts to close.

You would need the cam card to determine the amount of backlash or preload.

Can a Chevy 388 big block from a truck fit in an 81-88 Monte Carlo?

I've never heard of a 388 big block, but I'll say that in general, it's usually pretty easy to install a big block in place of a small block. Requires a bigger cooling system, and different exhaust, but very do-able. Headers are available for this swap.
