Can anyone tell me the specs on a Melling part # RYB18 Camshaft for a 390FE?

I have a friend that has his dads old 67 Mustang GTA convertible and his dad has this old "racing" cam that he used to have in the car and we want to know what the specs on it are.

Thanks,

-TB

is the cam in a block, or on the bench? if you have it in an engine, you can degree it out yourself, if you have a degree wheel, and a dial indicator... go to http//: www.4cycle.com and click on the button that says blueprinting. there are two killer articles on cam theory. this site is for the guys who take a briggs and stratton 5 horse engine, and morph it into a 20 plus horsepower monster.theres a fellow on there named mike clements.started a thread several years back about meltind down the wifes soy candles, and mixing the melted wax with nitro, pack this stuff into bottom of your intake plenum and hang on!!! best part is, after it burns off, it is undetectable!

Clements has done even more out-there stuff than mixing up nitro wax. The 4-valve Briggs Animal head caught my attention....
