<VV> Cam

[Cliff Tibbitts]

Bob, I have the P-200 in my 140/4sp in a 66 Coupe.  My personal experience
is that it is plenty strong enough from a dead stop, but the power is
noticeably greater above 3000 RPM.  I honestly cannot say what it would do
in a Rampy, but maybe with a 3.89 it would be fine.  Doubt you would want to
haul many heavy loads with it.  

But you can keep the RPM up with the manual tranny.  Good luck.

Howdy Folks,
Ok, I ordered my Rhodes lifters, now for a cam to go with it. This goes 
in a '61 Rampside. The engine has 95 HP heads with step removed, 140 HP 
exhaust tubes, and mild porting. The engine is balanced, thermal coated 
forged pistons, and gapless rings. This is to be a daily driver with a 
little extra power. It will haul loads, go over mountains, and dirt 
roads. It is a real truck. All ideas on a cam selection are welcome. I 
am looking at ether the P-200 or P-300 from Lon.
Thanks,
Bob

PS This goes with a manual trans.
