Default Re: Stock Restoration?

The L-35 camshaft had an advertised lift of .398/.398 [pretty weak] with 322* duration on both sides. The 67 we had was never partial to pump gas...my experience with these motors was they developed a lot of cylinder pressure from the weak cam and 10.25 compression. I guess you can tune them to run on 91 or 93...never really tried to do that. I still think a modern camshaft combined with some "minor internal mods" as Eric mentioned, would make the car a more enjoyable driver.

Good luck with the car...I love that color [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]
