Doug Dutra built this motor, 9:1, RV cam, bigger valves. I bought it from another FABO member.nice....what are the deets on the engine? what cam? what kind of compression? any head work done?
what are the specs of the "RV cam"? I've thought about when I start playing with mine getting Bullit cams to regrind mine...looking for good street power, idle-5000 RPM, they have some interesting lobe specs in both .875" and .904" lifter diameter profiles Bullet Cams Master ListDoug Dutra built this motor, 9:1, RV cam, bigger valves. I bought it from another FABO member.
Plans are to get it running, then build a head for it and do a cam swap in the future. It’s a 4 speed car with 3.91’s so I can get away with a lot more cam. Just trying to decide on what grind I want.
Who knows, I couldn’t get the actual cam specs from the previous owner and I only went for 1 ride in it as a passenger. I’m assuming it has the RV10 since Dutra built it.what are the specs of the "RV cam"?

Thank you sir! They are the 32 DFT’s. Little baby things but the motor is pretty mild for now.Are those Webers? Which ones? That looks REAL nice!
I am unfamiliar with those. Are they staged or do they open both barrels at once?Thank you sir! They are the 32 DFT’s. Little baby things but the motor is pretty mild for now.

It’s a 32/32, joint venture carb between Carter and Weber, used on small ford 4cyls in the US and Euro markets.I am unfamiliar with those. Are they staged or do they open both barrels at once?
Yours is much nicer! Beautiful ‘65!
Two of them will probably be fine. I've kinda wanted to do a dual 32/36 setup, but of course, that'll likely never happen. lolIt’s a 32/32, joint venture carb between Carter and Weber, used on small ford 4cyls in the US and Euro markets.
I’m pretty sure it has a Motorcraft part #, I just don’t know it off the top of my head. Should be good for what I am doing …before more can and head porting anyway.

That will be very cool. I can tell you that one 32/36 is enough for a stock 170, so I would imagine two would be enough for a warm 225.With some time, between @MidnightSwinger and myself there should be some info for these dual setups. I have the same Offy 2x1 that was modified for a 2x2. I'll be trying a pair of 32/36 Webers first, if that's not enough pizazz I have a set of 38/38's to try. Those should be enough carb for a moderate slant.
A funny aside, this photo is not my car, but it's from the member where I got the carbs and intake. It turns out the rest of this is now the engine going in MS's Dart. It's a small world sometimes!

Love itI don’t have time for a build thread but I thought some of you weirdos might like to see the motor for the 65.
Shout out to @Docmcg for the 2x2 Offy setup, he drove 2 hours to meet me halfway and make the deal happen.

Thank you Scott! I’m always inspired by your build, definitely helped me get over a hump recently.Love it
Glad I can help Brother. I know it was tough selling off your other build, but this one is going to be GreatThank you Scott! I’m always inspired by your build, definitely helped me get over a hump recently.
A quick color change and then the motor will be ready to go back in.
From ford red to Chrysler industrial red.
