Sorry, I'm just curious...

Why wouldn't you just use a regular (V8) cam?

Doesn't that 4 cylinder use a crank which is essentially the same as one for a V8? (stroke/timing)

I was looking at one of these engines last week monday... had a ported 670 head and a custom fabbed intake - prettty neat setup, and it was really weird to see the cam there with half of the number of lobes as what I'm used to.
