Hot Rods nailhead cam recommendations

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by buickwagon, Jan 17, 2018.

  1. Yeah, I know its been asked a million times before but.........Cam recommendation:
    1965 Buick 401, low mileage engine with new rings and bearings etc , running headers and a 6 carb manifold (using 2 x BIG 97's and 4 dummies) hooked to a 200R4 / Nine inch rear with 3.7 gears, 30 inch tall rear tires - all in a Model A Roadster Pickup.

    want something a little bit lively but still quite streetable.
    (95% street car but will see the odd trip down the strip)
    what everyone using ?

    What stall converter?

    try the TA-25 http://www.taperformance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=TA_25

    I would also hook up the other other four carbs. Nailheads like a heap of carb and I doubt just two 97s will do the trick. im running two 600cfm carbs sitting on a Eelco intake on my '65 401

    Im thinking what ever cam you put in it wont help much if you are not letting it breath. They came out with a not bad cam.
