Response to CAM SPECS

 

Whatever events and lifts you have for the MEL cams -
For a lot of the cams all that's there is the "advertised" duration and events and I just guess the .050" lobe duration from there and based on other cams of the same vintage.

Per the best I can guess and compute, the cam ending in "914" of course would idle better but loses about 15hp to the earlier 430/360hp cam which I guess is the same as the 383/330hp HiTorq cam.

I'm guessing the "914" is the same as the 383/312hp LoTorq cam? Just guesses it is hard to sort the MEL out. Important to do the history while we can I think, my dad helped build some of these cars on the assembly line in the MEL Merc era.
