Wondering if anyone is running this cam on the street. I have a 59ab bored.040 with offenhauser heads and 2x2 1090 offenhauser intake. It’s in a 37 Coupe with 3 speed and I believe 4.44 banjo.
 
No info on your cam, but with a 4.44 3rd member, you basically have a two speed (bypassing 1st gear), and redlining at 60mph in 3rd gear. Not what I’d call an enjoyable ride.
 
It's a beautiful sounding full race cam. I had two of them ground but then I had a stroke so I'm taking it easy this year. As soon as I get caught back up on everything around here, I'll get back to building the engine for the '34 pickup. 59A with a 272 Clay Smith cam. Here's a running car with one on YouTube.
