Right Tom, the advertised duration is 270 intake and 280 exhaust. my notes say I changed the springs crane springs 80lbs closed 215lbs open intake opening .441" exhaust opening .462" as the cam change was 25 years ago, I remember only that it is a crane cam, so the springs I probably bought with the cam.
The car has a space frame of 1" square tube, a VW type 3 front axle and vw steering but its steering wheel is moved into the center with a #50 chain and sprockets. The instruments, engine and drivetrain is datsun 1200. The car weighs 1100lbs (wet). A panhard bar and a 4 shortened Dodge pickup tie rods locate the rear axle. I put overload springs over scout shocks to support the rear of this car. I made a fiberglass body enclosing the engine and frame.
After it was completed, I found that I'd made a formula junior car (except that the engine was slightly too large to be competition-legal). Thanks for the compliment.
