Do you know lobe lift & duration at .050"? Is it a 685-16

Has the cam been ground yet, if not, I REALLY think you should ask for a dual pattern cam. I'd request an 'A3 Cosworth' for the exhaust lobe, they know exactly what that is, they list the larger A6 & A8 at the Elgin website.

Elgin is not unknown, I have sent people here to Elgin's writeup in the past. It's a good read.

I remember him saying the lobes are much like SB Chevy's.

What cam profile you can use is determined by the diameter of the lifter. Volvo is the same as SB Chevy, BBC, English Ford pushrod motors, Datsun 1200, pushrod Toyota 1300's, etc. The lobes I have used have been from all those & more.

Again, I really think you should get a dual pattern cam if there is still time, I will email them myself if you like.

Finally, DON'T forget to degree the cam in! At least 4 degrees of advance.
