I'll post pictures tomorrow. we didn't touch quench, just unshrouded valves. Rich uncle came through with more cash...so we did the dual spring thing.
Dema Elgin suggested a 274 deg duration cam with net lift of .427. Exhaust lobes ground 2 deg advanced. I remember him saying the lobes are much like SB Chevy's. Odd...he notes .014-.016 for intakes, .016 for exhaust. I asked for 150HP between 2500 and 6000 (not rear wheel)

I apologize for using an unknown cam builder, but when we talked for a while, and found out about our shared experience from SCCA early '70's (I was a Fire Control guy, he raced HP Sprites)...I must have pushed him back on track many a time along with his buddy Bernie Storc)...I had to try one of his cams. After all, it's just a street rod.

Nice thing, there's a dyno shop next door; $ 150 for three runs. we'll dyno after break in.
