Cam Questions; Engle W140 and Euro Racing E295

[cameron shorey]

I bought big load of parts over the summer. There were several camshafts. But two of the cams I am unfamiliar with.

One is Engle W140. I have the Engle cam card with all the opening and closing events listed.  313 duration and 0.424' (10.77mm) lift at the lifter.
Does anybody have experience with this cam? I'm looking for some feedback.

The other camshaft has "E295" stamped in the end. I have no cam card, but there is a tag wired through a bolt hole. Written in felt pen, it says, "euro racing E295".
I can dial it in... but I thought it would be faster to see if anybody knows what it is.

Thanks!

Well, I finally got around to dialing in the "Euro racing" E295 cam. I'm guessing the 295 refers to the full duration.
Looks like it is close to an Engle W120 or FK8
In case anybody is interested...
Lift is 0.387" (9.83 mm) at the cam.
Intake duration at 0.050" is 254 degrees. In Open @ 23, In Close @ 51
Exhaust duration at 0.050" is 252 degrees. Ex Open @ 54, Ex Close @ 18

a W140 was used in the 70's and maybe 80's, i certainly remember it in articles about race engine builds, and i think Scott Bakken ran one is his red 67 if you can find the article of the callifornia killers in hotvw.

I have the 140 in my iceracingmotor with 48 IDA and its a killercamshaft with good idling and it revs like hell. I,m running 13,6to 1 compression on 98 pumpgas with no issues. Original heads thin 88,s original rods and a large Gene Berg sump.

I have used the Engle 140 cam and liked it . Mike McCarthy
