anyone know anything about it?


not familiar with specs for a big block ford, so i have no idea how "hot" this cam would be.

any info in general? looks like it might be a mechanical flat tappet?

There is a guy selling it used and could probably get it for a song. but if it is a race type cam, it wouldn't be much use to me.

You dont want that cam unless you want to make peak HP at 6500 rpm.

 

That's a HOT one for sure! You'd need at least 10.5:1 to make use of it. Generally once you start getting above .575 lift and more than 236 @ .050 it won't be much good for anything but hauling a$$. Unless it's a roller, then you can get away with a bit more, but still this one is beyond that "bit more".

 

good to know! thanks guys!
