It’s a thing of beauty! But now some questions…
After a month in the clutches of the USPS, my reground Isky 1007B camshaft FINALLY arrived from D&L Automachine (Thanks, Pete1!). Ain’t it pretty? Seriously, it’s almost too nice to use…
Anyway, as I start sourcing parts for the engine in my 1951 Ford, I have a few questions. 1. What valve springs should I run with this cam? I’d like the lowest seat pressure I can get away with. Would stock springs work? 2. What brand of valves and/or what vendor do you recommend for purchasing valves? 3. I’ve got a nice set of EAB heads. Can I run them with a 4-inch Mercury crank? If not, I also have a smattering of 8BAs. I assume shoot for around 0.050" piston-to-head and valve-to-head clearance, right? 4. For simplicity and drivability, I plan on running a single carburetor. Do the four-bolt Mercury intake manifolds flow more than the three-bolt Ford units or are they pretty much the same? Not sure if finding a Merc unit would be an improvement. |
