Been searching for the last hour, but no luck!
Looking at what aftermarket cam size would be good in a newly rebuilt 1600 running twin 36 dells? i was thinking 110, but could this be slightly too big? Any other combos that could work?

lots of reading info here

The suggestion seems to be SCAT C-35 Grind, Engle 110, Web 118, Web 163

Yes - this is for a 1800, but it is close to the money

I am running a Pobjoy 22/62 with dual DRLA40's

A mate if mine has a 110 with ratio rockers in a 1600 and it seems fine... Although it is an off roader and not a daily drive so a really smooth running perfect engine is not real high on the priority list! You just check its running and fang it!

A Engle 110 is a very good cam, great drivability, if the rest is standard you could look at the Engle 100.

Yep, 100 with stock heads, 110 only if the heads get some work IMO, personally I wouldn't go with 1.25 rockers except on a stock cam.

If the rest is stock (except for carbs) what sort of benefits will you get out of the engle 100? Was also thinking about doing some mods to heads ,but not so sure on what would be a good combo for the 1600tp? Bare with me guys as i'm no engine builder and never claim to be.....if we were talking denitrifaction, biological P removal then i'm your man.

Are you only going to split the case for the sake of the cam??

Split, type 3 box, general cruising.

Have to split the case as the bottom end is stuffed.

This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Thats tall gearing for a split even an Engle 100 maybe too much cam in a 1600 IMO

I'd run smaller than stock tyres, some where in the mid to low 24 inch range.

Good size tyres tar 24.2inch

Still taller gearing than a 2L Kombi had standard though.

36 dels would be good to make torque on a 2007 built right.
