The 041 was often touted in vintage sales literature as the division's first "computer-designed" camshaft. Of that, McKellar says, "That's somewhat true-but not totally. We used a computer to generate the blueprints, and computer technology was hot at that time, so advertising decided to incorporate that. The No. 041 was a great performer, but I feel the No. 10 was a little better. Its solid lifters allowed for more low-end and midrange power than the hydraulic 041."
" I wish we could have used roller technology back then. It would have cut friction and allowed us to improve performance and street manners, but it wasn't available at that time," says McKellar.
