Correct! We screwed up real bad with Hughes, my brother send one of Their cams to one of our customers and they stoped dealing with us right then.. BIG MISTAKE!
We were one of the first cam grinders to take advantage of the larger .904" lifter in Chryslers and get more aggresive with the lift in the 1950's. These KV profiles were are latest and most extreme. Our classic K-8 grind in a chrysler is exactly the same rise and fall table as our RK-38...
Thank you for the informative info. Having been on the dyno with several engines, I know I can make 450 HP and 450 Ft lbs of torque with a 650 AVS 2 carb on a 383. Then pick up 8-10 HP at 6000 rpm by going to a 750 cfm. You just give away everything else below 6000 rpm, and on a hot street...
We sold Engle Cams to So Cal Imports and the company is still going. Their main focus is VW cams. When they can get cam cores, they can do any of the grinds we always had.
Not having much experience with Chryslers (other than camshafts) I am building a 408ci 360 chrysler for a 1967 Baracuda. So I am thinking about a 650-700 cfm carb, but I don't know what works with the throttle, trans, kick down. all the Chrysler linkage stuff? I am looking for Holley...
WE Engle's sold the business back in 2009 after my father passed away. Lifters are a huge problem, and issue nowadays, my guys @ Engle reccomend using Isky lifters. I am just glad to be out of the business to be honest.
Virtually all Chrysler engines from the 1950's up until the new late modle V-8 had these holes in the cam and oiled up through the block to Shaft Rockers.
