I have been running the 3/4 grind in a 276" 8BA for years now. Nice lopey idle, pulls well throught the gears. I'm happy with it. Last edited by sidevalve8ba; 11-14-2023 at 09:28 AM. |

You might give Goller's Hot Rods 419-428-2271 a call. Phil has been handling most of the Motor City parts since Mark Kirby passed away.

Tatum was a competitive engine builder. IIRC, Crower ground most if not all MCF cams.

Re: Motor City Flathead - Mark Kirby Camshaft Specs
I got to confirm the camshaft is a stamped Crower , it’s labelled “6 39004”. The build sheet shows was built in 1994 by MCF
