I'm not running that cam now..... Posted by DougM [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: superceded?, Kevin, Fri, 29 Sep 2006 15:39:11 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The block and head in my '73 came out of my 75EMS, which only had 63k miles, so I used it because it was a low mileage, good running drivetrain(with an 8 cog water pump that didn't leak). The car still has plenty of throttle response(with no header), so I still believe d-jet is more responsive. Even my 900T's don't come close to accelerating to redline as fast as the 73. The 73 trans gearing(still using the original trans) is not as good as the 74EMS I abused for 15 years, so top end peters out around 100mph.....but it's still funner to drive than the '75 CIS I sold.

The information I posted seems to debunk the myth that 74 EMS's had special cams which are supposedly coveted, at least that's the way I'm reading it.
