stroked small blocks in the race cars?

[1795]

Thanks for al of the input guys. My engine builder is going to be sorry he ever agreed to do the build I will have a lot to discuss with him. He reminds me of Brent, he lives in farm country, his shop started out as his garage and has slowly expanded over time. There is a local drag strip, so he does a lot of drag racers, also does some street stuff, an occasional road race car, and in addition to a variety of small block and big block Ford engines in his shop, there is a tractor engine on the bench.

I sent an email to Dan Case and asked if he knew the specs on what the 289 race cars were using for a cam and he said that in his 289 with Webers he is running the C7FE cam, which is what Ford sold off the shelf for race applications. He thought that it had a lobe separation of 107. I looked up on the web and this is what I found:

Another site said that the duration of that cam was 250, with an intake lift of .528@.050" and a lobe separation of 108.

Does this sound similar to what you guys are thinking?
