... and you can't even completely rely on the specs that came from Ford itself. One fella that had an unmolested K cam in his car, when it was pulled and put on a Cam Doctor, the actual specs only jived with the Ford specs when you used the 1.73 rocker arm ratio, not the 1.76 ratio. I
think I've been told by someone around here that you couldn't really rely on the ratio being correct anyway. But the point is, if you're a novice, even a talented one, and you set your sights on building an "original Cobra spec 427 FE" you're just setting yourself up for a big heartache....
