Gary,
Build the engine around the cam. With Weber's you will need at least
3/4 or full race. Find a profile that works well with Weber's. Here
are a couple of links to guys that know what they are talking about.

You will probably get better answers to your question at BCF as several
of the guys are currently running the Weber's. I am in the process of
changing over but built the engine knowing that. Good luck in your
endeavors.

Subject: [Healeys] webers
I would like to hear from those of you who have installed triple twin
choke
side draft Webers (Model 45DCOE) on your big Healey engines. I am
considering
restoring my 3000 as a loose replica of a Sebring racing Healey. I am
not
concerned about being historically accurate. The engine would be
prepared for
the street, probably as follows: bored .060" over, under 10:1
compression for
premium pump gas, BJ8 cam or perhaps slightly more duration. Exhaust
header.
I will be using a BJ8 transmission & overdrive. Also, stick rear Diff.
gears.
I am interested in hearing if you have been able to successfully tune
the
Webers for good street driveability (SP?). Also, what are your gas
mileage
experiences when cruising along at 60-70 MPH.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on the subject?
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
