I have an 8ba from 48 truck. Machine work is done, cleaned, magnafluxed, "has hardened seats" ground, valves ground, board 60 over crank turned 20/20. Got Offinhauser pistons. I have original cast heads, and intake for now.
I don't have a particular vehicle that its planed for, been tossing around a few ideas like a trike, t bucket, model A, or one of my favorite would be a Chevy LOL.

Now my question is in the future i want to add heads, then intake with multi carb some time, $$$$$. But at this time im thinking about cam as i dont want to come back later for changes. Had suggestion of Max-1, stock, KIWI-l100,
and Ive seen Go Cat Speedshop has a few that they grind. Has anyone any knowledge of them? What ever it ends up in wont be a racer. Just want a quick stoplighter , and a little lope would be nice. So like a cam that will work along with future adaptations.
Thanks Bruce

1007b is a nice cam , but for a little lope the L100 is much more noticeable though may loose a little torque low down but it will sure bring a smile to your face . Stop at twin carbs for the build you are thinking of, why not build it once with your desired parts ,even it it sits in the corner for a bit it will still be a thing of beauty.

The 1007B is a good cam. But you have ti think ignition first because the stock ignition won't work very well with any other notifications, like cams and carbs. In fact it isn;t a very good system in the first place. My suggestions are to give Charley NY ro Bubba a call.
