Need cam advice, 1914 type 1 with T3 automatic in trike

[Rog_Allen]

Hi all

I'm looking to figure out best cam to go with a full automatic transmission in my trike build*

Building a 1914*

Case is getting machined*

I bought >>>>>>*

69mm CW crank 8 pin and balanced*

I beam rods. 5.4"

40x35.5. HP stage 1 port polished heads with dual springs , stainless valve*

Now i'm going order*

1914. 94x69mm Forged JE pistons with liners*

Looking at dual 40mm IDE carbs " Weber copies" ????

Looking for new rockers also ???*

What cam you all think go good with my auto trans and my combo ??*

I like drive like an old man mostly but do like to get on it and enjoy some power*

I keep looking and reading forums.s but not much on autos*

So far I'm thinking on maybe engle W110*

Please any and all advise helpful*

Thanks Rog

Welcome aboard.

There is a lot of knowledgeable people here and I sure someone else will chime in

When I built my VW Trike engine I frequented The Samba web site. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewforum.php?f=46

This site is geared toward VWs (not just trikes)

I would not run anything too radical with an automatic. You need it to pull down lower than a standard shift.

Opinion.....upper limit. Web 86 and 1.25/1.3 ratio rockers. Next possibly a web 218.

An engle 110 is a very old design cam. An oldie but a goody, but just not up to par with other newer choices.

But you may not want to take my option on it......well because I like big cams.

You could do handily well with an eagle 2280 cheater cam and be perfectly happy.

But you did get a pretty good amount of head for it.
