Engle Cam Identification & Information
Earlier a few months ago, assisting MeanYellowZ in engine work and cam replacement, he was discussing throwing away a cam he had. I quickly jumped on the VERY LOW MILE cam and later we discovered the cam wasn't the problem, but his rockers/timing/carb settings were his problem. My point to this post is to identify and get the specifications from either a private party, or a link to the internet site (if any exists) for Engle Cams.
The cam is stamped on the back side "Engle - EP 20 HYD 10 C"
Any help would obviously be appriciated.

Duff,
Nice to hear from you again. A couple of quick checks with a 2" mic or caliper should give you the final lift numbers. If you have some 'V' blocks and an indicator, you should also be able to plot the curve to determine duration and ramp as well. The killer is going to be the initial timing. I've never had much luck trying to key off the dowel to find really accurate timing numbers. Variations in production tolerances don't help either. My "peanut" cam has about 0.004" more lift than it's supposed to, for example (after adjusting for lifter compression).
Good luck finding "Engle".
Later,
Vader
