It has been a while since I have posted. I am building a 216 for may 40 Chevrolet 1.5 REA express truck. The crank is ground and I have had the rods converted to inserts. I have purchased the insert bearings. I have contacted Ross pistons for the domed pistons. They will make them for me. My question now is on the camshaft. I know this engine is not going to have much more horsepower than 85 horsepower in the truck. What are your thoughts on camshafts, two single carbs and duals? Honestly, I think the factory cam will be fine with a single carb and factory exhaust manifold. I do have the in line book for performance of a 216/235 but I was curious as to thoughts on this. In regards to camshafts, would folks recommend a stock grind or something ground from Howards? I hope Jerry (Hot Rod Lincoln) is doing well.
Thank you
