Reply to "Vintage Motorcars of California 2332 cc build sheet"

@Revelstoker and @Jon T-  Thanks guys!  We were talking about getting more power or 'hopping up' Greg's 2332 in this thread here and 1 thing I missed was going to 1.25 rockers.  The higher ratio rockers will extend the duration a little (add 200? 300? rpm to the top end) as well as add more lift (and more power).  The next time either of you are talking to Greg if you could ask about the camshaft specs (advertised duration, dur @ .050" cam lift) or what cam it is I'd really appreciate it.  Anyone else talking to Greg at Vintage Motorcars California- please help me out here!

Instead of separating the case for a new cam, upgrading to 1.25- 1.3 rockers (along with the improvement in carburetion and as long as the heads and exhaust are adequate) may give a noticeable power increase.  I'm not certain, but I'm guessing that because of the Kadrons the cam is mild enough that adding the higher ratio rockers is possible, but the only way to know for sure is to know what cam is in the engine- that's why I want to know it's specs.

PS- Taking the heads off and getting them flycut for a slight compression rise would be a good idea too but may be too daunting for someone new to this game.  It would certainly be worthwhile, though, if you're looking to get everything you can out of the engine.  Then you could save the cam change and head re-work for NEXT winter!
