Not to hijack the thread, but reading all these posts this has left my head spinning. SO! for all you Flathead enthusiasts, I am looking to build a 8BA with 2x2 intake for street use. I plan to clean up the ports from years of carbon build up. My worry is that it is already bored 60 over, I plan to sonic test the walls and bore it out to 80, 100, or 125 over and use a stock Merc crank. I am stumped over what cam to use. I know that everyone has their favorites, but what do you all recommend for a good street use that has a good thump at idle.
