| Comp Cams 280?? |
| By Scott A. Ekleberry - 04/16/2004 2:21:59 PM; IP 24.209.97.157 |
Anyone have any experience with this cam?? I would like to stay hydraulic if I can, but I need vacuum becuase I have power brakes and A/C. Here is what is done to the engine:
390 Ford + .060 over
Forged 10.5:1 pistons (flat tops)
C6AE-R 390 heads with 428 CJ style valves in them (2.19 and 1.60) with Crane #99893-16 springs, locks, and retainers with mild port on exhaust. I am assuming a 68.1 CC chamber volume here but I may be wrong. Heads are fitted with HD stands and shafts and stock adjustable rockers for now (plan to add roller rockers latter on).
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
engine has been balanced
high volume Melling oil pump with oil mods done to block and windage tray in pan
double roller timing chain
Holley 750 vac. secondary carb.
C6 automatic with 2,000 rpm stall converter
3:50 rear-end gears with new Ford posi-trac unit
1 3/4" tube headers (biggest that will fit with power steering) and dual 2.5" exhaust
Car is 1969 Mach 1 Mustang (original 390 car) with power brakes, A/C, and power steering, I do need vacuum to run the power brakes and the A/C.
I would like power 1500-5500 rpm if possible, don't want to risk blowing the engine up. My worry is this Comp Cam's 280 is not a large enough cam and that the 292 is too big (and no vacuum), any comments on that??
Again, I think hyd. would be better as this is mainly a street car. I am thinking of having a cam custom ground.
Thanks in advance!
Scott
