I ran a 255/260 Solid Flat Tappet for years on the street, Obvious Noticeable Idle but never had any hesitation with the vehicle on the street or the road.
IT WAS NOT A TAKE A TRIP camshaft though.
Drove 150 miles from Kalamazoo Michigan to Grosse Pointe Michigan and almost ran out of gas.
Oh! What fun, running along at 3000+ rpm with Wangers 4.33 rear gear under the car at 55-60 mph.
The NASH TRANS (5 speed) and the proper Ford Gear in the 9" really helped that deal.
So as you know Mike, drive-line match will be worth investigating if you take the car on trips.
Have a great evening!
