Re: Potvin 3/8 cam ?
I used a 3/8 with a 276 ci engine in a 32 roadster with 3.25 gears and a 3-speed.
Runs great and makes good power. Like pete wrote , 276ci and bigger engine |

Re: Potvin 3/8 cam ?
I know nothing about cams and how they relate to engine displacement. BUT, everyone I ever asked told me that I could not run a Potvin 425/Eliminator on the street.
Everyone except PETE, that is!! Pete ground (2) 425's for me, after the first failed due to really bad off shore lifters. To me, Potvin cams are the best. If I ever build another Flathead, I'd run a 3/8 just to try it out. Oh, and the 425 runs real nice on the street in a 290 CI engine Just my experience Jim |

Re: Potvin 3/8 cam ?
I have the Potvin 425 in my dragster, one of Pete, I think i't awesome and it screams on the track and idles good around 1100, 276, wicked port and relieve job, three 94's, 1.600 intake valves, I've driven it up and down the lane where I live, I think it would be fine on the street, You have to get used to those engine on the street.
