Re: Used cam value?
The journals can be sleeved back to standard but it does not become cost effective at
$200 each until the supply runs out.

The only way to know for sure what it is, is to degree it in the engine it...

Re: Edelbrock Slingshot
Yes, a couple of "big" 97's might make a difference but they are costly compared to slightly scarce 48's.
On a small street engine, go cheap.
Remember, you are monkeying with miniscule hp so BIG...

Re: Edelbrock Slingshot
They have a larger venturi so they flow more so they make more hp when you need it. They will not hurt mileage at street driving speeds. They look identical to 97's.

Re: Edelbrock Slingshot
A vintage Edelbrock Super will work much better than a "slingshot".
More power, more mileage, more "cool" factor.
Use 48's, NOT 97's.

Re: 60hp v8 - model A
A good V8 60 will turn over 7000 and make at least 150 hp. You might have
to run E85 nowdays to do it though.
Rich knew how to do it.
