Brent,

My experience with 3.54 with a Fresh B engine with unknown reground cam by Mike Reichter is low end torque is lacking and as such pulling hills or mountain roads is not what I remember from 1962 to 1975 (40,000 miles) with a worn out Model A engine with a worn A camshaft.

I have no idea what cam Mike was using in 1989 (except that it was a regrind) and he since died.

Do the 3.25 cars that you mention have reground camshafts or Stipe IB330 or IB340 cams?

I wonder if reground cams raise torque curve too high to work with the lower RPMs of a 3.54 / 3.25?

I removed the 3.54 7 years ago and used a 3.78 which is in car now ... it works much better than 3.54.

This Coupe is run from 6000 to 11,000 feet.

Thank you
