Its the equivalent to an Engle 100 and the 1st step up in a performance cam from stock. It would work well with your setup, I'm assuming you are running single springs on a near stock head.
Scat's own description is:
Hill Climber, 1600-1776cc low end torque for heavy buses/off road (1000-5000)

The first motor I ever rebuilt was a 1641, dual port heads, kadrons, 1 3/8'' header and a C25 cam. Good all around power, and gas mileage was good when your foot wasn't buried into it (hey, I was 19   ). All in an otherwise stock '67; reliable and fun! You'll love it.

ported heads with stock rockers and stock springs..1 3/8 headers with single quiet pack
i just want some oomph, without sacrificing low end torque coz this would be a grocery getter...mileage would be ok? what do you think? |

Mileage is more dependent on how you drive it. It'll be great, you'll love it compared to your stock motor.

C25 is a great cam,and with 1.25 rockers you get 415 lift. It's also very close to the CB cheater cam.

You're worrying too much. Small displacement, mild cam and small dual carbs; it's a great, trouble free combo. As I said before,
YOU'LL LOVE IT!

| My 1835 with stock heads and 40 dellortos has one. I put 1.4 rockers on it and it seems to work well. I only rev it to 5000-5500 because it has a stock crank in it. Good power up to there. |
