RE: 428 build up

Thanks A.M., interesting that your 428 carb(was it the original?) is a 1.08. I was thinking about something else you might consider camshaft wise for your 428 buildup. Both Crane and Competition cams are regrinding the 306 duration/500 lift solid lifter cam that was the mainstay for HP FEs from the 352 through the 427. This was also the cam that was used in the '66 428 Police Interceptor. It idles just a little rougher than the C60Z-B GT/CJ cam but still very streetable and smooth. Where the CJ hydraulic will idle smooth at 625/650 rpm, the C3AZ-AA idles well around 700-750 RPM. Of course with this cam you should have your hydraulic lifter oil passages blocked off which Ford Power Parts makes a very inexpensive kit for. Also you'll have to run adjustable 1.76 rockers which I like with the C6OZ-B too. You may as well buy the Crane/Comp cam kit that includes the solid lifters and correct valve springs. This cam will work fine with an automatic and stock torque convertor. Pulls very well from idle to 6,000RPM. Obviously, the FoMoCo engineers liked it a lot. There is a C4AE-B solid cam being ground by Wolverine but it's a bit too rough with an automatic. Great with a stick though. I ran this very cam from Wolverine in a 427 with a 4-speed and it's perfect for street/strip. The old Muscle Parts book says this cam is "definitely streetable" and I found it so with the stick. In my opinion, a mild solid lifter cam like the 306/500 is great for your '66 Galaxie. It has a business like idle but is smooth for the street.
This thread, so far...
