Thanks If you are looking for a Edgy head,they are now sold by the Dodge Boys. AFAIK,Ed Edgy is no longer in business. My old computer took a dump and I am on a new computer and haven't finished updating my browser yet,so I can't give you their URL. They are the guys with the (almost) 200 MPH Fast Four Dodge roadster at Bonneville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I cant just walk into napa and buy a performance cam for my flathead 218. Thought about sending one off to have it reground to a performance spec. And edgy comes to mind. Any thoughts on this? Is it worth it, will they still idle ... not about going fast, just sounding good along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had really good luck with reground to stock specs cams from Delta Cams http://www.deltacam.com/ on the northern left coast,and I understand they will also do custom grinds to any specs you desire. They also weld up,regrind,and heat treat tappets if you have an engine that tappets are hard to find. IIRC,all they do is cams and cranks,but they might do rods,also. NOT trying to harm Edgy's operation,just offering an alternative for people that might be seeking a more "generic" grind,like one of the old Isky patterns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branded Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 I just installed a reground cam that I sent off to Earl Edgerton. I'm doing a complete rebuild on my 230. He recommended 260 duration @ .410 lift. It's a mild cam but really wakes the engine up. He also refaced my tappets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more aggressive a cam profile for these engines results in a higher RPM at idle. Now those who want a 500 rpm dead silent idle and the moment the light turns green they want the monster to come alive well thats a compromised balance in spec. Give George Asche a call he can grind you a cam and give full recommendations to your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the necessary profiles and have been around a long time. www.shadboltcams.com Edited December 21, 2017 by dpollo more information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branded Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Let me rephrase my comment. I asked Earl what he recommended. I said I was keeping the engine basically stock and that I didn't want anything lumpy or anything that would effect idle. Earl recommended 260 duration @ .410 lift. .Earl said It's a mild cam but really wakes the engine up. He also refaced my tappets.

If 2bbls is what you're after, I would recommend Langdon's dual Carter Weber setup. In fact I would recommend them over the ancient Carter B&B's...

I know I remember seeing the 400 Jr grind advertised in every HRM and R&C magazine I bought as a kid back in the 50's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
