I remember when I built this engine in 1990 or 91, that I installed a Lunati camshaft and Ford Motorsport timing gear set. I know that we degreed the cam. What I don't remember, is why did I set the crankshaft gear to 2 degrees retarded? I had a machinist friend helping me, and we got the timing marks on the money. What are the advantages/disadvantages of advancing or retarding the timing marks? What is the best set up for the best low end torque from a 351 4V engine? In the for what it's worth category, I have open chamber heads, milled .050. Mild cam, stock exhaust, 4speed, wide ratio trans, 3.50:1 tractionloc rear diff.
Google has not been my friend tonight finding the answers to my questions. Hopefully, someone can refresh my memory. (I think the hamster fell off the wheel).
