Ok I have three questions to ask... First of my engine is a 1969 302 with 1974 iron heads.
1. Eventually I'll be switching my stock 74 heads for the AFR 165's. At the same time I want to swap my mild hydraulic cam for something with a little more performance in it. I was thinking about a mechanical cam instead of hydraulic. I was searching around and cant find many mechanical cams for small block fords, any particular place to look? I want something that would match those AFR heads Holley 600 carb, and my Edelbrock Performer RPM intake.
2. Do they make a mechanical roller cam? If so how hard is it to upgrade my block and valvetrain to roller stuff? And is it expensive?
3. The last question is right now my compression is 8.5:1, with those new heads with chamber of 58cc, how much more improvement of the compression should I be expecting?
Thanks for your info!
