Hello Everyone,
I am planning on upgrading my 200CI camshaft as my next project and wanted some advice as to which to choose. The two I am currently deciding between are listed below. My goal is to gain some power, but I don't want to go too big as I want a very smooth idle and still have an automatic for now with a stock converter so I want to maintain some low end torque.
Also can someone provide me more detail on the "machining to eliminate the stock valve step and to install teflon valve seals", that is required with the new valve springs required for either camshaft. If anyone has pictures and instructions I'd appreciate it.
Anyone know the original cam specs? Just curious how they compare.
My currently narrowed down camshafts:
Clifford:
Part #93-2021, Lift (1.5 ratio) .444, Lift (1.6 ratio) .474, ADV Dur 264, Dur (@0.5) 206
FSPP: Product ID: CSC-264-12-DHS, Adv dur - 264/274, Dur @.050 - 214/224 Lift -.450/.450 Lobe center - 112* Range - 1400-5200
My current car setup:
- '67 Ford Mustang with 200ci engine
- V8 spec. C-4 Transmission and stock rear (2.83 I think)
- Clifford Dual Outlet Header (Part #53-0186) with dual exhaust
- Dura Spark II Ignition with Pertronix Coil running at 12 Volts. Thank you everyone for your great instructions. They encouraged me to take on this upgrade.
- Remanufactured to Stock Specs (~9 years ago) Log Head, Number D7BE609(or 8)CAB, I think it was milled 0.025".
My Future Plans:
- Order soon: FSPP RAS Roller-Tipped Rocker Assemblies, Product ID: RAS-200-RTR, 1.6 ratio. I may install these with the new push rods before I install the cam to see it I can get rid of a lifter tap. (See if it's a lifter or exhaust)
- Upgrade to 2 barrel carb. with Clifford 2:1 adapter just after breaking in the cam (only one thing at a time). Anyone want to sell a Weber 38DGES cheap .
- Look into Clifford's or FSPP Aluminum head when available.
- V8 Rear ~3.2 or I'll see what I can find.
- Front 5 bolt discs and a power break booster.
- Air conditioning someday...
Thanks,
Greg
