Goodmorning,
Webcam 86a or 86b, Schleicher 316 are the one I had with those figures.

Novak on here also sells type 4 cams that are good. He can advise you.

But if you have balanced engine, with at least 42x36 valves in nice heads, 40mm carbs, a lot off cams will do the job.

Regards eddie

We raced the 5 at Big Willow with VARA a couple weeks ago.
New engine and got the gearing perfect with a new lightweight 3.90 ring and pinion.
Chased hard to detect minor oil leaks Friday and Saturday.
Ran 1.22 during both qualifiers.
Having fun vintage racing and enjoying the challenge of maintaining and racing these old race cars.
5 is scheduled for 2 races at Big Willow and 1 race at Laguna Seca in 2026.
The 10 car will be raced at the Long Beach Grand Prix and the Rolex Reunion in 2026.

Video of the 5 at Big Willow.
Lap time of 1.22 provides an average speed of 110mph on the 2.5 mile lap.

Hello have a wilibald? 914 engine, which will be converted to 2056cc and want to push it to about 125-130HP, the question is, which cam, readily available from the known suppliers, do you think that can do the job? as I'm not familiar with typ 4 cams, which works and which not, I will use typ1 lifters and bushes in the block, thanks for looking

Friendly

After 3 years and 1 month of working almost every single day (after my day job), and doing all the work on my own, by myself, without ever having done anything like this before, and not knowing how to weld, do body work, or spray paint,...I've finally "finished" my '67 Resto-Cal looker
Its been a dream build for over 30 years, and I've finally been able to follow through at the ripe old age of 55  Grin


Wow that's an awesome looking job. Congratulations!!
Do you have a build thread to share?
Also it's RHD but it looks like you're in the US?

Thanks for the compliment  Smiley

I don't have a build thread here on theSamba, but i do have the whole 3 year process documented on my Instagram  - https://www.instagram.com/odysseygarage/

She is a RHD, and was always a RHD from the factory  Smiley
I'm located in Cape Town, South Africa. Our VW factory here built about 3800 units of the 1500cc version of the '67 (ball joint/disc breaks up front), and a lot more units of the 1300cc (link pin/drum brake) version. The one I have is the latter, and she still has the original unopened 1300 motor from the factory  Grin

You'll notice that our '67s still had the sloped headlights from the previous year model, unlike the US spec SB12 flat headlights. Most of the other "one year only" attributes still apply though, with a few exceptions.

I think the fact that you thought this is a US car is because I intentionally built it to emulate the Cal-Look cars I grew up seeing in VW Trends and HotVWs magazines  Wink . . . hence the Gene Berg license plate frame, the Berg shifter, etc.
If anything, the fact that you thought my car was a US car is huge compliment  Grin and an indication that I might have "done it right" ....lol
