Re: IML: 66 imperial camshaft/lifters

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about that. I put a Summit cam in my 72 Imperial 440 when I 
rebuilt it a year ago along with some porting of the heads using templates 
from Mancini. This cam is a little stonger than the late 60's performance 
cam used in the Roadrunners, etc . I am very happy with this cam using an 
AVS and freeflow dual exhaust system. Car performs normal at low speeds and 
really hauls when you put your foot down.I have left more than a few 
surprised people in the dust on the highway.
