Thanks tom s. I thought that would be the case,only if someone really wanted the set up. I think I will just put the set on my street/show 60 Ventura just for conversation starters.All I need to do is find some valves and springs. I plan to change it over to 4 speed and have a early 4 bolt main motor with the "good stuff" in it. Should be fine for the street scene.

You are correct tom s. Then only kicker is they are (I believe) 100K longer than stock valves. Still can work around that I am sure. Just check my geometry.
They used those (size) valves up to 66 model year.

"I see that intake on ebay from time to time, You should be able to have a new cam ground to those specs. ( I think that the RA1V cam is very close to those specs.,except that it's hydraulic)"

The McKeller #10 cam (a solid cam) has less lift even with the 1.65 rockers than a stock Ram Air II cam with a lift of .470. (McKeller cam is in the .440 range)

All Ram Air 4 cams were released with 1.65 rockers
so the lift on them was around .520 from the factory.

I agree totally with Tom S. on the flat nose of
the McKeller cam. It requires at least a 1000 rpm
idle speed, monthly valve train checks (if not adjustments) and has a very noticable rumpy idle.
Even with all that, I drove one for three years in my 64 GTO with a 4 speed and 4.33 gears and
loved it. A modern day version would be even better. Tom V.
