Model B Cam
A quick question: We opened up a friend's motor and found a Model B cam (fuel pump lobe) inside. As I recall, the Model B cam is directly interchangeable with a Model A cam, right?

Re: Model B Cam
Model B cam followers are different than Model A, the solid original ones anyway.
Go to Vince Falters Ford Garage, here is a link to cams and tappets: http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/camshaftspecs.htm Darryl in Fairbanks Last edited by darrylkmc; 11-13-2014 at 11:07 AM. |

Re: Model B Cam
Hey Brian,
Yeah, they can be used and have been used as you state. I'd just be aware that the B lifters were a bit larger (foot) area when using. Maybe whoever installed knew and installed the B lifters also ? |

Re: Model B Cam
I run original model B ,not reground cams in two model A engines and run the single or self locking adjustable lifters from Brattons and Snyders and never a problem . I run reground model A cams ground to Winfield super street 3/4 race grind with the same lifters from Bratton of Snyders and have run these engines for years with good service. You may can find original model B lifters at Berts. Model B lifters are longer and have a larger base

Re: Model B Cam
I found a B cam in my diamond block motor. Is this a diamond block?

Re: Model B Cam
These is an. Interesting article in one of our trade magazines this month regarding the use of the Model B engines in race cars of the day. The gave the "Offys" plenty of competition. Many had OVH cam head modifications and other exotic changes.
