Does anyone have any knowledge of, or info on, Ford's 5T camshaft? I know it was a truck cam, and reputedly had a bit more torque at lower revs. I also know when I was a young 'un back in the 60s, that stock car guys here in New Zealand had to run stock engines, so they used a 5T cam to get a little more out of the engine. I have one, and I'm wondering whether it's worth the effort to replace the stock cam in my C59A engine. Thanks.
