I think Wes is going to be out of pocket for awhile traveling with his family. The original flat tappet solid was a single pattern 236/236 on a 112 LSA....the new hyraulic roller was basically a shelf XE grind (Comp Cams), that I instructed Comp to grind on a slighter wider LSA (112 also....shelf cam was 110') in an effort to tame the idle a bit, increase vacuum, and aid in drivability. The engine had the highest vacuum readings with the AFR 195's btw, which was around 13" @ 1000 RPM. It would be better in the car at 875 or so and would likley drop to 11" at that RPM....maybe a tad more but still plenty for a street car with 400 CID of displacement (395 to be exact). It will drive perfectly smooth at practically any RPM with the right carb tune. Cant wait to get Wes's reaction to the new motor in the car....its going to act like a completely different powerplant. -Tony |
