[FC] Not Springs but "working" Rampside engine

[Ken Hand]

The head/cam combination is very important. Any combination other than what the factory did you have a hybrid engine and may or may not have more power. The 889 cam with 110 heads will give you stump pulling powerbut you will have no top end and would be lucky to hit 65 MPH. The 891 cam with the 95 heads actually works pretty good. You loose very little low end and get good midrange power and OK top end. Any head with the 304 will run OK but you will loose a little low end with it with any heads.

How well does a 110hp with 95 heads run in an FC? I have a 95 with 110hp 4 

carb heads here I plan on at least putting 95 heads on  (and selling the 4 

carb heads) , but may put the 2304 cam in it also...(this motor is to sell 

eventually).
My present motor is a 110hp (heads) and 270 cam , running very
well with PG 
 and 3:55 in the Rampy.
