Thanks Randy.... she's a very nice well sorted car so I am hoping she'll find an enthusiast on the forum to give her a good home...

Hi All, I am selling my GT40 Replica manufactured by KCC in 1987. This cars has been highly modified by professional engineers at GT40 Developments to update it to compare favourably with a modern Southern/AK or TORNADO GT40 at 60% of the the cost. This is a useable working classic and is...

Hi All, I am trying to avoid overheating on my CAV and thought I would reach out for advise. I am running mech water pump and have drilling small 3mm bleeds into the rear of manifold and behind water pump going back to expansion tank to stop accumulation of air in the heads. I do not however...

Hello All.... I just thought I would thank everyone for invaluable advise.... Also I wanted to add to this thread as other engine builders might find info of future use... I found Robert Overfield at Edlebrock an amazingly helpful chap.... [email protected] anyone needs engine...

Thanks for the above JP... all points well made and spprrcisted... Sadly all my existing springs will need switching or Comp Cams will not warranty Cam... Once exact Csm chosen i will religiously follow the run in guidelines and keep everything crossed...:)

Ha ha thanks Colin...347 it is....:):):)

Yup saw it was an old thread Brian... thought it was worth a shot....the engine looked like he was making decent power so the cam would have been under load so his experience would have been interesting but I failed to see his last sign in...l..thanks for pointing this out...

Hi there ...was just wondering if you could possibly give me your thoughts on the EX268 Comp Cam grind you had in this build... Am thinking of the same for my SBF 347 stroker... Many thanks

Hi All, Just reaching out to ask if anyone has any experience of Comp Cams... I understand they are owned by Edlebrock so am guessing a uality product but have heard on or two issues on other V8 Forums. I am thinking problems are likely to be from wrong run in or oils thereafter but good to hear...

Thanks for all the support Chaps... I spoke with Edlebrock Tech and it appears my Cam with lost lob was an RPM #7122 ...a decent Flatt tappet Cam with nice power band.... Problem is I have Trick Flow Heads which appear to have the original Dual Springs which are ultra stiff 134 lbs installed...

Thanks Randy, I have sent out a message to Comp cams to ask them if they can help with the spec on the current Cam.... I see they do 3 EX Cams two of them use a twin valve spring set-up like mine according to Real Steel V8 guys in the UK tell me....... XE284H is the more aggressive its just a...

Hi Mark... Most kind of you to respond... I think it's a old Firball Crane Cam but I can't find any details anywhere... I have an Edlebrock RPM AIR GAP inlet manifold with old Edlebrock 4 chamber Carb (unsure of Cfm but it's stamped S1188, see pic below. I am thinking to replace the Cam with a...

Just an update all... So I was able to remove my O2 Sensor in the collector resealed the four headers, cleaned the Sensor with carb cleaner and compressed air and refitted same. Engine now running far better and I plan to put some miles on her in what's left of the UK Summer... Thanks so much...

Hi All, Looking for some help identifying Cam I need to replace in my 347 Stroker. I am unsure of exact specifics on my Crate US built engine however having performed open engine surgery we appear to be looking at a stroked 347 with hydraulic flat tappets in Trick Flow heads. The valve springs...
