Need Help Picking a Cam.
Hi Guys I am Putting Together a Street Motor for one of my Cars, Car is a Full Stock Body 67 SEDAN
Here are the Engine Specs
 69x94 (1914)
69mm Berg C/W Crank
42x37 Steve Tims Stage2 Heads (Oval Ports)
1 5/8 Merge with Dual Qp's (NOS 4 Tuned) ;D
12 Lb Flywheel with Stage 1 Kennedy
42 Dcnf's Berg Specials with 34mm Vents
I have 1 to 1 rockers on hardend shafts and also have Auto Craft 1.4's Depending on Cam Choice
trans is a 4:12 R/P Stock 1st & 2nd 1:48 3rd 1:04 4th with a super diff and side plate
car will be used mainly  as a weekend cruiser but want to be able to drive it anywhere without worring about if it will make it

I am looking to  build a combo thats runs hard when you want it but very driveable  and smooth on the street as my wife will be driving it ::)  Thanks in Advance for any Help..

I would think a w120 or w125 with 1.1 or an FK-8 with 1.4s would be a nice cam with that setup.

What's the differences between a w125 and a Fk8? More power, less agreement, less reliable or so?

what i heard the powerband of a W125 is higher as a fk8. the k8 is also lighter on the lifters as it uses 1.4 rockers. i have opted for the fk8 myself since it seems to be the better choice between both of them concerning longlivety.

A 120 cam will be perfect for that motor.... but if its for the wife maybe a 110 ;)
