My brother-in-law and I have a bet going on right on and I need some third party input. What's the difference between the E cam and the H cam for the Sprint engine? There's a steak dinner for the winner of this bet so be honest!!

Brian

Total duration. 260 (H) vs. 244 (E). The lift was the same at .438". The "H" cam was only offered on the manual trans equipt Sprints in 69.

Rob

Winna winna chicken dinna!! Thanks Rob you just made my day.

Brian

Congrats on your winnings! What "Sprint" do you have?

Rob

I've got a 67' and he's got a 69'. Somewhere he acquired both cams and that created the debate. How about you?

Brian

Nice Brian... I had a 67 Sprint/3-speed. It was my first car, and one of my fondest memories!

Some day I'll replace it as I have a soft spot for the OHC's! Nice to hear more and more are realizing what a great motor they are!

Brett - 67 Drop Top 455!

Funny thing was that I got a pretty good deal on it because the guy selling it said it wasn't worth much being it had a six cylinder in it and no one was interested. It pays to do your homework sometimes!!

Brian

Brian,

Glad to hear of your interest in the Sprints! I too have a 67. (convert/4spd.) Finishing a 5 year frame-off resto and should be driving it this next spring! I built a 230 HP version for mine, so I am running the "H" cam.

Enjoy the performance and the mileage of your 6,

Rob

My Sprint also didn't get much interest when I bought it less than 2 yrs ago. Only me and one other bidder, both within driving distance. I also think I got a good deal. I don't remember ever seeing an OHC before, but I am hooked now.

Best part of owning a Sprint are the funny looks people give you when you tell them what kind of engine you have. I think the Average Joe assumes that all Birds came with 400's. That and the fact it really scorches my brother-in-law that there is another Sprint in the family!! Rob, good luck with the rebuild...I'm sure it will be killer once it's done. Miles, very nice car as well.
