rebel, what is he putting it in? And what does he mean he wants torque? He doesn't want a high rpm only engine? Pretty much any 2276 street motor built with some common sense can make hp and enough torque to blow the tires off at the drop of the throttle. How long are the rods?
Is he putting it in a bus or something? If he's putting it in a Type 1, tell him to stop worrying about torque. 2300cc is made up of some big lungs out of a four cylinder. If he keeps duration under 300 with the stuff he has, he will be amazed how responsive the motor is. Even a 2276 with a Web 86C will rip the seat rails off the pan. I know, I did it, with 310 degrees duration. This cam ran from 3200 to 7700. Probably a bit much for your buddy,
You know which cam I would use? Same cam as me: Engle FK45. Pulls from 2400rpm to 6800rpm and I run it with 1.25 Scat rockers, in a shorter stroke motor. I can haze tires off in 2nd gear in a corner. Is that enough torque?
