I was wondering if anyone could help me with the choice of cam for the mini
engine I'm building. The specification is;-
1275 bored to 1312 (+.040)
gas flowed and polished head, planed to give 10/1 CR
Standard Mk3 Cooper S valves with 140 lb. valve springs
Twin 1 1/2 inch S.U's
LCB exhaust into 2 inch pipe with straight through silencer
I'm builiding the engine to use in hill-climbing/sprinting. I also need to
use the car on the road occasionally, so a full-race cam is out. I've heard
that the 731 cam is a good compromise, and that it works from 1500 rpm.
Haas anyone had experience with this cam? Bearing in mind that the car will
only occasionally be used for fast road work, is it possible to get a cam
"hotter" than the 731, but still usable on the road?
Any help will be much appreciated.
