The best cam grind for MEL
Posted: Wed 24. Feb 2021, 06:09
Hey guys!
I’m in the midst of building a 61 430 with reworked 58 Edsel heads e.g. ported, bigger valves ect.
A Edsel intake manifold and ported exhaust manifolds, electronic ignition the whole ball of wax, my question being.
What is a performance grind these engines really respond to? I want to really be able to wipe somebody’s behind with this motor if I feel like it (I’m acquiring a steel roller camshaft blank with lifters and roller rocker arms) BUT I don’t want it to shake at idle like a race car I want a good sounding little thump but I don’t want to give too much away about what’s under the hood.
I’m backing it with a Borg Warner T10 4 speed and dropping the whole shebang in my 63 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible
Thanks in advance!
