Anyone have any specs on a Potvin 3/8 cam. ? Is it too much for a 8BA bored to 3 5/16 with a 3 3/4” stroke. ?

I can get you the specs tomorrow, but I run a Potvin 3/8ths cam in my 292 ci motor in an AV8 roadster. I absolute love this cam. It has great low down torque and will break the tires loose in 2nd if you floor it. Great power all through the RPM range. I am also running a Weber flywheel and the motor whapps at the crack of the throttle. Pete would know best, but I've read that this cam like 276 ci or more. |

In. 28-72 Ex. 71-29 Lift .375 Duration 280 In cl .010 Ex cl .012 Lopey idle. Excellent mid range power. It is not too much cam for that engine. Best use at least 3 carbs and hot ignition. |

If you do that, be careful the first time you stab it. The car is going to go sideways. |

That's the plan. I have a Tattersfield hi-rise 4X2 that I plan to put on it.

Well I'll be damned. I've been around for a long time and have seen a lot of intakes, but this is a new one on me. I will say in my defense that I've never been too interested in exotic old intakes because of the price factor involved.
Thanks for the picture. |

I used to get a regrind of that cam from Baxter Ford Parts. Used it in several motors. Worked great. Don't think they're doing that anymore?
