As far as I'm aware, I've not heard anyone else on this site saying anything bad about a Clay Smith company cam. John Mummert has a good reputation with the parts he sells, and I'm sure if there was a problem with their product, he wouldn't be selling them.. Anyway, unless I'm mistaken, the C4TZ-6250-A cam is a non original replacement cam, likely introduced in 1958, which is definately milder than the original EDB 1957 cam. The correct '57 cam is not handled by most cam companies. It is however available from Oregon Cams in Vancouver Washington. I believe the price is about $149.. However, if you want something beyond that, the 265-S cam is somewhat hotter than the 57 cam (which Mummert does not stock), but is recommended by him for use with exhaust manifolds & if with a Fordomatic. It has a wider LSA so likely is a bit better on idle than the next cam up..

Has anyone installed the cam John Mummert sells called the Y-265-S? (ground by Clay Smith). My 312 many years ago had the C4TZ-6250-A cam installed and I wanted to replace it with an equal or better cam than the D code 312 had from Ford. Suggestions please.
