That cam is designed for a lot of low end torque.
Back in the game! Will this guy require head work? Springs.... Etc?

On the subject of adjustable pushrods... Stay away from Aluminum ones as they may be light, BUT they do like to flex under high load (mind you if your not a revhead then ignore that statement); also they tend to be rather wider than the Moly ones and can from time to time rub on the inside of the pushrod tubes.

When flyrite choppers still existed, I had a bobber made by them, I had the S&S 96", what a monster of an engine that thing is! That thing gave me some sweaty palms now and then!
