Thread: Cam, rear gear & tire size

Tweet

I'm building a '32 Ford 3wd coupe. Mild engine for street and hwy driving. My question is this:
I'm using a 3.00 rear gear and 29-30" tires. Am looking to use a 222 degree/.447 lift 350/350 cam. I got to wondering if I will have enuf torque at lower r's??
What cam ##'s would you guys suggest ?
Thanks for your help!

Ronbo ; what kind of Transmission are you running ? Who's Body / Frame ? Fendered/ Hi Boy ?

Using a muncie 4 spd. I have frame from Jim Taylor at Superior Glass in Molalla, OR and my 3wd body is on order with him. Great guy to work with! My plan is to build a dirty nostalgia themed car. A utilitarian hiboy driver. I'd like to run those firestone dirt tires but there bias and not DOT approved. I'm going to drill some lightening holes, use adel clamps, not much chrome or polish. My main goal is to get it on the road and not worry about the perfection stuff. I think I'd like to go to one show and let people touch the car, maybe it should even be dirty.? We'll see!!
