Just ordered a Hyd flat tappet cam for my 451 stroker from Engle Cams. Is anyone running their cam & what's your opinion of it?

I have one in the Hemi and I like it. One of the better cam companies in my opinion. Very knowledgeable and very accessible by phone if you have any questions.

A more pertinent question would be, "Do you ask your friends about the steak (or whatever you are going to order)before going to a new restaurant?"

Thanks for the info. I put trust in a friend's advice whose a reputable Mopar builder & has built some great motors that made good power w/ the Engle cams & your recommendations verified his prefrence for Engle.
Got a flat tappet 504/514 lift intake/exhaust & 272/280 duration on a 112 lobe separation.
Should run well in a 451 stroker.
Doug @ engle was really helpful.

About 20 years ago I bought a flat tappet from Engle. A couple of years later I bought a roller from them too. Both for 440's. For both of them Jack Engle set me up with excellent cams for what I was using. I was very happy with the cams and the customer service.

Back in the 80s I built a couple of Hemis with the K7 Hyd cams somewhere around .550 lift and was very happy with the results.
My current motor has a slightly custom K5 Hyd with around 520 and 109 , I havent driven this one yet but it sounds really strong..
I have been using Crower Hyd pushrods with them..

My cam is a Hughes...ground by Engle at that time. I am very happy with it...the perfect cam for what I wanted 500HP, idles at 800rpm and can still use PB.

I notice they only sell one dual pattern cam on their website for BB Mopars, and it's a smaller one, bummer. I prefer a dual pattern cam, for some odd reason.
