Ok i know there are alot of post on the subject but here it goes. I have a 40 ford truck fenderless so it's pretty light. My engine is a 50 8ba .030, stock stroke, and a valve job. I do have a set of stock heads (8ba) and a set of edlebrock aluminum 1's, also a 378 rear gear and a t-5 trans. I also have a 3 pot fenton intake and a 2 pot fenton intake w/holley 94's. I am looking for a camshaft that gives good power and has some lope to it. I am also going to run open headers and a pertronix distributor conversion. So what type of camshaft and or should i use stock heads and get them milled. Any suggestions are apperciated
Forgot to mention i also have an aluminum flywheel, also what is the max lift stock heads (8ba) can handle and how much difference in cooling between aluminum heads. Thanks again
There are some that really like the L-100 as an all-around cam for a flathead. Hear it here: http://www.geocities.com/jharvey238/flathead_ford.html?1104179796890 Ol Blue
A 1007B is what you want. An L100 is a good cam but WAY too much for your essentially stock cubic inches and heads. If you have a set of alum. heads, they would give more performance than milled stock heads. They will cool better too. The 2 pot would work better than the 3 for your application.
