All this talk about running at high rpm's just begs the question: why not destroke a cammer?

A destroked cammer wouldn't have the spring problems an in-block cam FE would have. I WOULD ditch the cammer's timing chain in favor of an external belt drive conversion.

Or, you could convert a set of tunnelports (or heads of your choice) to overhead cam drive (actually not all that hard, about the cost of a T&D setup), running bucket tappets instead of rockers, doing away with another layer of potential failure at high rpm.

Think you could spin something like that over 10K? Regularly?
