I would like to know the specific cam that he used. When you go to his site, there is a long list of cams in his cam selection section but I never saw which one he chose.

Have a great day,

..................Look at the bottom of the Parts list...#FC5433\5216H110....$171.60. This is somewhat close to the Crane Cams ...#133042 , which is the cam I used in my 400 project . I've got to replace my old Carter AFB 650 carb as it is wornout . After perusing all the posted HP\Torque figures I'll be ordering a Holley 650 , Double Pumper for my 400 . Don't know which will be better for fuel consumption , the mechanical <> or vacuum secondaries , OR does it make any difference ?? Maybe someonewill comment . sk

Awesome project Tim!

The information provided here should be preserved and presented as a tech article, with Tim's permission of course. Any volunteers?

Tim,
I'll call you when I get ready to build my 400. Don't hold your breath though, it might be a few years yet.

I'm glad this thread is back.
I'm a bit confused here, so see if you mods can help me out.
Why is TMI's web site censored? I don't understand why it would be.
The only thing that i can see as to why this tread was removed is that he talked about selling the motor. Is this the reason?

Seems like TMI should make a separate tech site.

They do have their own site, but I don't think it has a forum.

Have a great day,

I'm glad to see this back. I realize it is a fine line between doing this sort of work in a commercial environment, and sharing this info with us vs. the guidelines about sponsorship. I don't feel he was trying to drum up business here, and appreciated all the info he shared. But rules are rules. I hope Tim continues to contribute here.
