The lift tolerance of the original 260 engine was stated with the technolog=
y of the day in the Performance Tuning book. Modern abilities to advance an=
d retard cams and the use of hydraulic rollers or even mechanical tappet ca=
m profiles will also affect the actual clearances realized by a particular =
combination regardless of lift and overlap.
It really should be checked to ensure you have clearance if you are conside=
ring uprating the cam as the science has changed and what seems minor may i=
n fact produce an interference problem.
If the engine is apart slap a head on and adjust the valve clearance and ch=
eck with clay.
If the engine is assembled then install weak springs on one cylinder and ch=
eck clearance every 10 degrees of rotation to ensure you have the required =
clearance ... note that advancing or retarding the cam will also affect dyn=
amic clearance and you would need to check after making that type of adjust=
ment.
The key point would be that with a 260 ci engine any cam that is usable wil=
l likely be pretty mild as the small displacement would not favour some of =
the higher lift cams as it would deliver very low power/torque down low whe=
re most street Tigers will spend all of their time.
I would personally opt for something like a Comp Cam RV Torque cam that is =
intended to build cylinder pressure at low RPM with a working RPM range of =
1500-3500 RPM.
My 2 cents :)
