An O' Ron quote from the past:

"I like a hot cam in a street machine, if your looking for mileage buy a Preis".

It's amazing how age affects your thinking. Unfortunately, I still like a Hot cam in an engine, Tuning is the secret that makes them work. Mt 280 Truck has a stock EAB cam and for Vermont it works just fine and sounds pretty good as well.

Next thing we know Ol' Ron will be making a hybrid hot rod using a flathead for the gas-powered system.

OK, just to set things straight. My present project is a track roadster to run at Loudon in August, and believe me it won't have a stock cam. Just got the front coilovers in the mail yesterday and have the front disk brakes almost finished. Haven't started the engine, funds are getting pretty low, so I have a mild 248ci 59 engine ready to go. Finished the Hogs gead adapter last weekk and the T-5 is now mounted in the chassis. I know you'd like to see pics, but i sat on my camera the other day so your out of luck. Maybe somebody can post my latest video. Getting hot in Vermont over 50 again today. Never stand still.
