For reasons beyond my control (broken #2 piston), I find that it is now time
to rebuild that spare engine that has been sitting in the corner of the
garage for the past few years. It will be going into my 1971 TR6. I have
had the head shaved to 9.5:1, with light porting and grinding, and the
bottom end will be going out soon to be bored, balanced, etc.
The question I am struggling with is which cam to put in it, so I am
soliciting opinions and testimonials from the list. I plan to do a
conversion to electronic fuel injection later this summer, but it will
always be a street machine as I am not into autocross or racing. For street
and around-town use I would like it to have a reasonable idle and a power
band that start pretty low, say around 2000 RPM. Right now I am leaning
towards the GoodParts GP2.
TIA,
Greg Bengeult
