Thanks Pete,

cams are stock SC cams. After realizing engine had been modified before, I checked them to be sure they had not been ground. With the carbs you certainly could use more aggressive cams, but for me this is just a temporary spare engine. Decided better to save efforts and $$ for my coming 2.4 project, which will be more pricey and challenging and where I want to "go all out" including cams etc. Anyway the 3.0 should easily deliver 200 hp which is plenty of fun for an early car .
