Hi there,
3 all round torquers are the long standing and easy to live with cams
easyly found are 204/214 and the 214/214 and 214/224 which are
easy to run on 10* degrees static plus 22 to28*. [32 to 38* total.]
If you have a 3.23to 1 diff or faster then an O/drive IS NOT necessary
and lock up converters are just another worry with the kickdowns and
O/drive antics...The choice is yours and I suggest that you read the
B&M Auto website that show you all of the options that are on offer.
All the best with the car...[My 1974 Jag with 2 tanks of petrol weighs
in at 4300lbs..I am glad that I picked a ZZ4/355 as I Do need it.
Until later Skyeking
