Anyone running Solex cams on higher displacment engines?
 
Putting together a 3.0/3.2 motor.

3.0 Bottom end
98 mm J&E P&Cs with 9.5:1 CR
Weber Carbs
Single plug electromotive Ignition
Early SC heads with larger 39mm intakes
Larger 3.6L oil pump

Cams?

I have readily available a pair of early Solex grind on 4-lobe cam (Crane cam)

Also considering...

Elgin Modified S-Cam (Intake 296 @.470 lift and Exhaust 270 @.395 lift) with 102 lobe centers and 4.5mm lift at lap)

GE40 cams

Your thoughts?

The Solex might be a bit mild on 3.2 liters. If you want to hear it roar when you get up in the RPM's I would think you would want the GE 40's or the modified S for some real grunt. For what it's worth, BA prefers GE40 or S cams for a 3.2 street motor over the Solex.
