I was going to say "3/4 Race Cam". I never understood what the 3/4 referred to, certainly wasn't the lift. It also brings up the question of what a full race cam is.

They actually used to advertise cams like that (3/4 and full race). I'll have to see if I can find an old ad.

Ford Flathead! You forgot a Columbia Butt to go with the twin pots.

For all you fellas who don't dig the jive, that's two carburetors and an overdrive!

Bug-catcher, slush-box, motor instead of engine. My reciprocating powerplant instructor wouldn't answer you if you said motor. lol
