383 true or false

As I recall the 3/4 started with the flathead Ford guys back in the day before you could buy any aftermarket cam they reground a stock cam.


bingo. Pop started off hot-rodding flathead Fords. The "3/4 race" grind was a fact back in the day. Numbers? Didn't have 'em. You either got a "3/4 race" or a "full race." Specs on '49 Ford flathead: triple duece with a 3/4 race was the hot ticket back in the day.
