I know this has been covered, but a search didn't turn up what I wanted.  Any one have the specs on the 245 HP 57 cam?

Thanks

I saved this from some previous thread.  It's from some issue of Y-Block Magazine.

Greetings to all:  I too was very interested in the 57 cam of the day, the "B" cam, when I created a 312 for my 64 F100 several years ago.  I always thought of the 57 cam as not wild but a good cut above the de-tuned cam.  I had the folks at Oregon Cam grind a duplicate which they claimed to have specs and lobe masters for. I found it to be very close except my copy was ground straight up requiring about 4* advance.  I have since run this cam about 6,000 miles and am very pleased with it.  Seems to be, or at least very close to the real deal.  I will add, it works excellent with stock valve springs since I'm not racing this truck of pushing into the high RPM range and with reasonable fuel economy.  I also sent them (Oregon Cam) a set of used lifters which they re-ground with a nice crown and re-hardened.  This was very reasonably priced. Hope this helps, JEFF................................
