" i have 2 385 series motors. one is a '77 351M, and the other is a '76
" 400. the 77 truck motor was retarded 6* for emissions. the car was
" retarded 8* or more. it wasnt the cam. i didn't specify correctly. it
" was the crank gear and cam gears. their dots were "retarded". now we
" know why fords are "retarded" hehe. my 400 has a 0* timing set in it.
" WOW what a difference it makes. 

i've wondered how the 400 would do with 351c heads, but in a bit o'
brief looking i couldn't find any intakes for the combo.

" hmm, wonder if a guy could just jump the cam gear ahead you know, a
" link or 2 on the timing chain???? or would that be BAD JU-JU??? 

well, if the cam gear/sprocket has 45 teeth, 1t = 8*...
--
4.0 ho cams are supposed to be retarded relative to renix cams.
anyone know how much, and is it in the cam or the timing set?
