914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Type 1 cam help needed

Posted by: scotty b Mar 26 2007, 04:52 PM

1600 D.P. stock everything but carbs. Will be running dual singles : solex's, Brosal, Weber etc.

Engine is going in a Puma I intend to sell when done, and being that it is more of a sports car I want to add a little more oomph, to help it sell. I MAY also drive it for a while

I have an Engle 120 ( .435 x 294 ) cam from an 1835 I melted sitting on the shelf.

#1 - Would the 120 be TOO much for a 1600 with duals?
#2 - Would a lower end (Mofoco) 041 head make any difference in using the 120 cam?
#3 - I have not bought carbs yet but I MUST use duals as a single won't allow the engine lid to shut. Any recommendations for or against any particular brand or size?

Also anyone who may have some of these carbs or heads for sale feel free to chime in

The 120 is a huge cam for a 1600.

That's what I figured, just wanted to make sure. What carbs would you recommend with that setup? 34's?
