Short idle video of a 67 400 E block build I did last spring.

 

What's the compression ratio on that engine?

 

It's got flat tops in it and compression is 10.1.

 

Is the cam on a LSA of 110 or 108?

 

Cam has a lsa of 110. Engine is very snappy and responsive.

 

Sounds awesome, what are you using for valve springs and rockers?

 

what did dial the intake lobe to ? What did the cam card say to instal intake lobe to ?

 

Valve springs we're lunati and matched to the cam. Rockers are 1.7 scorpion roller rockers.

 

So if I'm doing my math correctly, 1.7 rockers will give you 5.88% more valve lift over the listed Lunati 1.6 rocker specs. .510/.522 becomes .540/.553. Are you using cast iron heads, did you need to be concerned with the valve to piston clearance.
The reason I'm asking is I currently have a 66 400E 4spd, 3.55 gear car with B heads with roller tip rockers and the 69 W30 328/328 cam in it. I would like something now that is more street friendly but still has that sound and makes good power for cruise night.

Thanks Jim

 

I have speedmaster heads they were cut to 76 cc and cnc ported ported by Knowlton's Thunderheads. I did not have any piston to valve interference issues. This cam pulls 11 to 12 inches of vacuum @800 rpm idle.

 

JRSL69, I would recommend the early W30/W31 (308/308) camshaft for your "E" block. It will provide adequate vacuum for power brakes, makes good power, is street friendly, sounds good, and will work with the 3.55 gear.

I do a previous grind from Crane. It’s 230/234@.050 with .496/.508 lift on a 110. Sounds great, very responsive and would work well in your build. Let me know if you’re interested in doing it.
