Well to tell you the truth Jeff, I havent decided. Cam Motion has a whole bunch of off the shelf grinds. Crane has a few but either cam company make one for you no problem. I contacted Scott Brown and I think I'm gonna get my cam recommendation from him. He is VERY knowledgeable and much nicer to deal with instead of 'dickheaddavehughes'LOL Here is my oil pan setup. I had to bend the pickup tube about 1/4" at the elbow which gave me more clearance for both the girdle and the windage tray. I had to grind about 1/2" off the inside of the girdle with a carbide cutter. I made a slight inward groove to give me some necessary clearnce for the pickup tube. I also radiused the cut to keep it from gouging the tube. Also shown is the Melling Hi-Volume oil pump. To use the pickup tube brace I'll have to 'window' the windage tray in order to mount the L-shaped bracket to the #4 main stud. Without doing this I fear the pickup tube will eventually crack from the vibration and harmonics. Or you have the option of brazing the pickup tube threads to the tube. Have fun removing it however, and it must come out to remove the Girdle&Windage tray because it sits flush with both. I opted for pipe ARP thread sealer and the brace with the modified tray.73challengerguy wrote:hey eddie waht made u go with a crane roller vs cam motion?...just curious.......JM..
Sounds good Ian. I found a man who is going to have my cam custom ground for my application. He is one of the major suppliers to the F.A.S.T. engine builders. I am going to use him as my sole supplier form now on. His name is Scott Brown, #616-499-6223 just to whet your appetite. It's going to be a fast rate of lift hydraulic roller, .575 lift and around 285-295 Intake and exhaust duration. You will barley be able to hear it thump! It should make power to 6500 RPM's Perfect for a street car!!! 3/8 Smith Bros. pushrods with ball/ball ends and cut for a 5/32 radius in the rocker arm adjusters. Stainless bronze bushed roller rocker arms, 1.6 ratio. Custom Beehive valve springs, Manley Severe Duty valves in 2.14/1.81 I-E I will port the heads slightly, mainly in the bowl and radius areas under the seats.ianandjess wrote:thanks for the great pics & good info eddie im still waiting on my studs i hope they wont be to much longer but ive still got lots to do while i wait for them
