Iamscotticus Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Hello I have a Sprint Spec 1600 Crossflow (engine olny) I bought used. Its an AX block but I don't know when it was built for CC. I understand early Sprints had A2 cams and later had GT cams. My 1996 build manual states the spec then was GT cam in 1996, but I suspect the engine may be older. Does the CC historian have build numbers to ID my engine? Otherwise I may have to pull the timing apart to see the cam stamp. Another question is why would CC downgrade to a GT? Is it a downgrade? Were the A2 durations too long to play nice? Edited February 20 by Iamscotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Midas Posted February 20 Leadership Team Share Posted February 20 If you contact the CC Archivist - Martin Phipps and give him your chassis number, he will be able to tell you the complete breakdown of what was originally supplied by the factory to the original owner. If I recall it will tell you the spec of the engine e.g. on mine it says '1700 Ford Crossflow Supersprint engine'. It will not show the components within said engine, but the original record will get you started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger King Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I believe the reason for the cam change was cost - no cam to pay for, no engine strip down labour required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now edited. My lump was purchased separately from a gent who took it out of another Cat. It could be years older or newer than my chassis build. I bought the chassis in 2006. The head stamp is SAMCOR RAK1192 Edited February 20 by Iamscotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
