Camless engine

[Randall]

Not quite camless, but I recall reading many years ago an article (in
Popular Mechanix ?) about a gentleman who had modified Pontiac's OHC in-line
6 with cam lobes that were tapered fore & aft, and a "flying ball" type
governor built into the cam gear that moved the cam fore & aft with varying
engine speed.  (This was long enough ago that the OHC engine was quite
unusual, but the in-line 6 was 'normal'.)  I don't recall the resultant
specs, but the improvement in both power and gas mileage was quite
impressive, especially considering the relatively limited scope of the mod
(stock carb, manifolds, exhaust, etc.).
