Re: How's your cam ??
Back in the day everyone drove to work often in a flathead powered car or truck. Never once was i Left stranded by my flathead.

Re: How's your cam ??
8 Years ago I had a different outlook on the need for that radical cam sound that the l-100 gave. In a large displacement engine it works just fine. However my present 280 ci engine in my truck has an EAB cam in it right now and the torque makes these Green mountains feel like the flat lands of Nebraska. I guess I'm just getting old.

296" flathead, 41 Ford coupe, 2 deuces, 400jr cam. Good idle and instant throttle response that surprised a lot of people, some with overheads.

Re: How's your cam ??
Pete would know for sure, or JWL, but what about using the profile of the latest 53 Merc cam & adding some lift to it. Somewhere in the .375"+ range. I bet it would be a real good performer & still have a stock idle & give good mileage?
Just a thought. Oh, then have it dynoed in New Mexico to show 300 HP Jim |

Re: How's your cam ??
An early Chrysler 6 stock cam (flathead) had .375 lift.
This was tried in flathead Fords a few times for "stock car" racing but was usually rejected as not being stock for the same type engine. It did help slightly. Oh, and 300 hp is relatively easy to attain from a flathead Ford with a blower, but try doing it naturally aspirated. |

Re: How's your cam ??
I've wondered the same thing. Last time I got a message from Bill was just prior to the 2016 EFV-8 Club WNM in Bakersfield, CA. He told me he could not make that meet, and his brother Charlie would tell me why when I saw him at the meet. Well, I never saw Charlie there, so never found out the story on Bill. I've tried to email and PM him several times over the last two years, but get no response. Doesn't sound good to me.
