The cam’s still in the engine Marty. Just wanted to check the lift next time I adjust the valves. And even if it were out of the block I would still need the specs to tell just how much wear there was.
Now where in the world did you find Stroker McGurk's booklet Hoyt? Is it in reprint? I’ve seen some short articles on the 261 that he did for Hot Rod back in the day. I've got a machine shop background so method of measurement it is not a problem, I just need the stock specs to compare it to. Of course the service manuals gives you the duration and cam angles but neglects to make any mention of lift, and that’s all I care about right now. Were you saying that he shows the lift on both at .300”????
Tom Langdon would probably have the specs but I thought one of the guys here might have already asked the question. Maybe I’ll have better luck if I try asking the same question over at the Inliners site
