72 HO Bird'
Anthony, its good to hear your HO build is moving forward.
I built my 72 T/A HO engine almost identical to Rocky Rotella's build posted on this thread on 8-18-15. (post #2552) I used the same Comp Cams custom roller that he used. My car runs very strong, and is pretty docile just cruising around town.
Prior to that build, I had a Crane blueprint Ram Air IV cam with Rhodes lifters. That combo ran great for about 15+ years. With Radial T/A's, 3.42's, M22 trans through full exhaust it ran 14.29 @ 103 here in Salt Lake City (Altitude 4400')
My recent rebuild using the Comp hydraulic roller cam feels just a little bit stronger. I haven't run it down the quarter mile yet to see the actual difference. It still hurts to think of the cost of going to the hydraulic roller vs. the old flat tappet cams.
