Yes - and a big ole' nasty one at that! LOL. It is .420 lift and a huge amount of duration - 272 degrees at .050, 314 degrees advertised.
I worked with Ed Isky when I was about 21 years old to make the cam ---> I made the billet cores and he ground the profiles. Sat in a box for 35 years - decided I needed to "build an engine for it" . . . 4 1/8" stroke by 3 5/16 bore . . . is in my 32 Cabriolet.
I wondered if I could run it on the street - given the duration, aluminum flywheel and 25T Zephyr gears. Surprisingly, it runs really well - and sounds better than just about any engine I've built (other than a blown one). I obviously have open headers below . . .
