Presride

I intend to drive the truck on the street, want it to go down the interstate at 65 or 70 for an all day long drive, get down on it now and then and want it to sound "bad" even if it's not. What are the specifications for the Cam grind which you consider the best to operate under these circumstances and limitations? Who do you recommend to grind the Cam? I also intend to put a borg-Warner T-5 and a Mopar eight and three-quarters rear behind it with 3.55 gears. I am currently in the process of installing a Mustang II front suspension. (That's another story. A universal kit will not work with this frame. Will put that in another thread.) Other modifications include dual carbs on a Fenton intake, exhaust headers and an HEI ignition. Have already gotten all this gear from Langdon's Stovebolt 6. (Got the Fenton intake on eBay.) I also have an Edgy aluminum head which will raise the compression to 9:1. (I think I'm correct on the compression.) i also intend to make modifications to the oiling system. Also for another thread.

I have a new, old stock Iskenderian Cam for a Mopar flathead 6 with a lift of .435 and a duration of 266 degrees. I found it listed in an old Iskenderian catalog as a grind for use on an oval track. Is this Cam too much for the street?

I have a 1960 D100 with a flathead 6. The return line for the heater runs from the heater to the head behind the back most cylinder on the passenger side of the head. Is this the original plumbing or is there another way to plumb the heater return line without running it into the head?
