Thus you can see that an 8CM (and probably an EAB) are a significant upgrade over the stock 8BA cam, approaching the MAX-1 in lift. When I did the Merc in my '51 club coupe, I had a new MAX-1 cam and kit I was going to use, but after some thought and discussions here and on the H.A.M.B., I decided to keep the 8CM. The way the car performs, I think it was the right decision.

I used the MAX-1 in a 258" engine for the "T" tub I am building. I figured it was better in an 1800 lb car than one the weighs in at a hefty 3200.

Found a post on the H.A.M.B about the eab cam, .328 supposedly so if that’s true it’s not far off from the 8cm
