Default Vid of E cam w/ 1.72's

I got the videos of my car @ idle...

For those interested:
E cam
FRPP 1.72 roller rockers
rebuilt 306
FRPP shorties
Stock H [1st set of cats gutted]
flows
E cam 01
E cam 02

It needs some paint and body work, but it's driving GREAT!!! There is a slight popping sound in the first video...I've got a small exhaust leak on the passenger side [loose flange connection].

I was going to get some driving it, but it was raining, so I'll mess w/ it another day.

Does that cam not have much of a lope, Funk, or is your idle just up high?

It's around 800-900 b/c it was having trouble idling when it was lower. It sounds better in person...that video was taken w/ my g/f's digital camera, not a video camera, so that's probably got something to do w/ it.

I'm liking it...we needed it BAD!! It's funny that it hasn't rained in forever, then it rains on July 4th.....

my buddy just got his carb'ed 347 running in his '67 fastback and it has the e-cam too and not much of a lope with it. i think the b cam has more of a chop than the e does, but if you're looking for a nice lumpty lump then the TF Stage 1 is nice IMO ...

The B does have more lope to it... I would have gone w/ the Stage 1 if I'd looked around a little more when I first got the car. I like the split lift/duration on the int & exh.....

Sounds good. The B cam doesn't have as much lift, but it has more duration than the E, which helps give it the choppy lope.
