Greetings to all: The rebuilding of the 292 in my F100 is now in the planning stage. I finally found the cam of my choice offered by an outfit called "Thunderchicken Automotive." This is the standard 57 Ford cam with 256 advertised duration, 208 @ .050, 113 LSA, INT. centerline 110, EXH. centerline 116, I believe this would mean it's advanced 3 deg., INT. lobe lift .269, EXH. lobe lift .282, Timing @ .050: INT. opens 6.4 ATDC, INT. closes 34.3 ABDC, EXH. opens 39.5 BBDC, EXH. closes 12.1 BTDC. I have been able to confirm some of this data as I still have a very used 57 Ford cam with "EDB" to compare it to. I have been in touch with Cid at Thunderchicken Auto and was informed that this cam was ground from lobe masters made from the original 57 cam. I think this may explain the lack of .003 lobe lift. I haven't purchased this cam yet but it is on my list. Just Google Thunderchickenauto and it should come up. They refer to this as the "EDB" cam. I was told these specs were from the Cam Doctor provided by the grinder. If anyone has had experience with this vendor, please comment. Hope this helps............JEFF
