This is a flyer from Schneider Cams and if you like I can post specs
on other grinds as well.

SCHNEIDER RACING CAMS
I235 CUSHMAN AVE ? SAN DIEGO, CA 92110
PHONE (6I9) 297-022'7 ? FAX (619) 297-0577

Following is a list of standard Schneider grinds for the Ford Flathead.
These grinds have been tried and proven over the years and represent
the peak of Flathead performance. If you don't see what you want
here, call us. Custom grinds are our specialty and we can design
something to meet your specifications.

EC=6 @ .299 lift in dur.=244 ex dur.=234 solid lifters, 6.7
cr., stock exhaust, dual plane manifold, 1.5" valves.(key is never
change your heads)

Maybe I should have specified flat lifters

There's trick using early Dodge/Plymouth lifters.

Hey, post all the cam specs you want! I called Schneider Cams today as a result
of your post ( I did'nt have the phone number before) Do you have the specs for
a Harmon-Collins S-108 ? How do you like that DeskTop Dyno ? I have

the same version, and have run a million combinations of flatheads on it, but
I have'nt yet tried out anything the program suggests. I wish they had some
better way to model a Flathead engine, but that would not be easy. I am curious

what the BriggsDyno they are coming out with will do. Also in terms of the best
cam, the old Isky 404 appears to have a bottom end (up to 5000 rpm) better than
any other cam I've run on this computer program. I entered it as a roller
because of the radius lifters, and it does have quick lift. I have a 404 cam
and kit but lack the drill jig to install it. If any one knows a source for one
