Believe or not, the cam "just" arrived last week at my place. This means things needs to start moving now. No more excuses for not doing the deburring of the crank or the block ha ha. Things to note, as I will use the late (latest before SOHC) crank with 8 bolts for the flywheel I also need to...

Measure the cylinder bores. Mine needed reboring to oversized pistons...

I just wonder if 340lbs for springs is not to much. This engine won't rev like to really high RPMs, so I don't expect valve float to happen. Stock spring is around half of that, right?

On the way (it will be a long way), but it's there! :D

Finally some good news. Talked to Camcraft Cams and they can grind me anything I need woohoo :yahoo: They have blanks available, so basically anything I want is in reach. I just need to think about the profiles I want. They told me those 2 grinds available on their website are rather...

So I'm still trying to figure out the proper cam and where to get it from. Just checked and emailed these guys: https://www.camcraftcams.com/catalogs-links/ranger-bronco/ I see that Melling and Enginetech make cams for 4.0 as well, but in stock characteristics only :-( My "local" grinding...

I sent email to cam craft, they have 2 grinds listed for 4.0 on their website: https://www.camcraftcams.com/catalogs-links/ranger-bronco/

I’ve seen that, on Comp Cams website it’s „available soon”. So just in case I phoned them (Comp Cams) to confirm… All of the suppliers claim they ship fast directly from manufacturer (Comp Cams) so if Comp Cams claims not any soon, Nov 8th is not in the real range… Maybe someone can phone...

Just had a chat with a sales rep on Comp Cams info line... No good news. With the current situation in the market they are only focusing on high volume products that they order from their suppliers. This basically means the 4.0L cams were available in march and since then out of stock and no...

I sent message to Comp Cams... No reply for 3 weeks (I was busy, so did not follow up - I think I need to give them a ring). Fall is coming to my location, so having probably one of last warm and sunny days I went for it and painted by block. 3 different paints there. Wash Primer (with anti...

Found in the web some photos of old crane catalog. Still it lists these springs as "a set". Seems I need to measure the tension of the 99858 springs I have and subtract that form the value of "the set" and that way find the required outer spring... There is a post on a different story that one...

Believe it or not, I still did not found them. I have the inner springs, I have the retainers, still missing the outer springs... Maybe someone has an old printed Crane Cams catalog to check what other engines these springs fit? I'm more than sure these were not made only for Ford V6 engines xD

Well it seems no-one has this cam in stock, even Comp Cams alone :-/ I will check with local grinding company if they can make a cam for me according to the Comp Cams specs.

Before buying on-line, maybe anyone has one to sell? SKU 49-422-8

They were, and cost a fortune.

Well in theory… the ratio of the rocker arms is low in OHV. Therefore the valves barely open with stock cam. The 410 or 422 cam from Comp cams should help at least a bit. That’s what I read. Turbo to start earlier - either smaller one (that won’t be big enough for power at higher RPM range), or...

With my current setup most of the time it’s around 2500-3000 RPM. But from experience I know this will be the range where my boost will begin to be alive. On the other hand a similar build was stuck with HP at a range of 300-320HP (crank) and adding more boost did not help much, but hotter cam...

I was not considerig that at the beginning, but as this seems to be all in now - should I get a hotter cam?

Hahah you probably don’t know, but it’s easier to find a virgin in Czechia (world capital of porn BTW) than a Chevy in Poland ;-) Ford is popular due to the European models. V8s are Exotic, unless you own an Audi/Mercedes or so ;-) I’ll think about it ;-) Finally I paid $400 for reboring and...
