Need mild cam advice, 2275 82x94 type 1 with T3 automatic in trike

Post by Rog_Allen »

Hi all.
Updated my build to a 82x94 in coments below 12-21-2019 thanks


I'm looking to figure out best cam to go with a full automatic transmission in my trike build
Building a 1914
Case is getting machined

I bought >>>>>>*
69mm CW crank 8 pin and balanced
I beam rods. 5.4"
40x35.5. HP stage 1 port polished heads with dual springs , stainless valve

Now i'm going order
1914. 94x69mm Forged JE pistons with liners

Looking at dual 40mm IDE carbs " Weber copies" ????
Looking for new rockers also ???

What cam you all think go good with my auto trans and my combo ??
I like drive like an old man mostly but do like to get on it and enjoy some power 😁

I keep looking and reading forums.s but not much on autos

So far I'm thinking on maybe engle W110
Please any and all advise helpful
Thanks Rog

I would use the Engle FK-41 with a street style 1.25 rocker with a single HD spring. Big torque, easy on the valve train, very drivable from 1000 rpm to 4500 would be great with the 3 speed auto t-3 trans.

Just curious why the expensive pistons? Are you planning on 30+ lbs of boost? If not then you would be fine with Mahle or AA. I don't have any experience with Auto trans requirements but there is almost always a better choice than a 110.
Good Luck

Good quality is getting harder and harder to find.

Been awhile , plans changed since this post
Haven't started mock up yet but soon

Decided to build a 2275 82x94 low end stroker torque engine,
Most stuff I got is from AA performance

Stuff I bought already

New aluminum-super-case
AA performance plus engine kit , 82x94 chevy jurnals, 5.5 H rods , maul pistons
New AA performance heads stage 1 port polish, 40x35.5
Because of my auto trans I bought a small engle 100 cam and lifters, clearanced for stroke , along with CB 1.24 swivel feet rockers going shoot for 8,5 -1 compression

AA cut to length push rods
New dual 40 IDF carbs from AA

I have much more but too much to list it all......... alot more to get yet , its taking me awhile, I'm just an old disabled and very poor guy but I will get there lol πŸ˜‰ ,


Harold Carter "Gearboxshop owner" out of California newly built and shipped me a sweet T3 trans and converter

Says with the engle 100 using 1.24 rockers you need double valve springs , dont like this was hoping to run single HD
Any experience or thoughts greatly appreciated
Thanks

In your set up I would probably go for duals as the trike will pull through the revs pretty quick, I personally run a W110 with 1.25's on hd singles, shimmed for a touch more seat pressure, but it's in a full weight bug and smaller displacement that rarely sees above 4000rpm

πŸ‘ my heads came with dual springs, they say to fire it up and brake the cam in with one set , then add the other spring back afterwards,
Would you know what spring to leave in on first fire up ? The inner or outer ?

Great ! Thanks that's what I was guessing , πŸ‘
Say do you know or can someone chime in please .....
if using 5.5 rods on a 94x82 build ,can you still use stock length head bolts ? Or will I need buy longer ones ?
Thanks

Typically with that combo you will need longer studs, but you won't know for certain till you mock it up
