Would the SU1R be a good street cam.
What grind would you recommend for good street performance & gas mileage for a 8BA motor in a 36 5W coupe & a 47 convertible with the 59 motor still in it.

You didn't say what other mods you were going to do to the engine. Assuming you do the usual heads,manifold,
cam mods, the SU1R would work on the street. It's not a good choice though. It lacks low end off idle performance.
I would recommend a 1007B for the 36.
If the 47 motor is going to remain stock, leave it alone.
If you modify it, the 1007B will work good.
It has a slightly lopey idle.
