Agreed. And you'll be on your honor to actually put it in your engine.;) |

When you're ready, give me the Manufacturer and Part Number that you would like and I'll have it delivered to your door. |

It will be cheaper if you let me order it...LOL No use in paying retail for it. ;)
But if you want to go that route, I'll just tell you the lobe numbers and LSA and you can have at it. |

WHAT?
After all that diatribe in the past about solid flat tappets? You're a Benedict Arnold. That's what you are. :)
Chas, keeps the repair bills down. :p |

It's a little different when it's my own personal engine. If it pukes, I don't have anyone standing over me with their attorney....LOL

That's exactly what I'll do. By the fact that I have gone to that much trouble, I know you couldn't live with the guilt of not using it.:cool: Besides, I'll take a few pictures of it, post the specs, start a new thread, run up a couple of hundred more posts, irritate RodKnock with the fact that you are now running a SFT, bug Chas., etc. I view this as a worthy investment.:cool: |

Do you realize how much grist for the mill this gives Patrick?
Can we get a comment from Keith Craft on this choice? My words on this topic hold no weight.

Merely water under the bridge. He is now a 100% dyed-in-the-wool SFT convert. Yessirreee, nice to have him on board, I might add.:cool: |

I still wouldn't do one for a customer....
And I'm only doing it now to get a free camshaft...(because you know the one I'll pick out will have nitrided lobes....LOL)

Hey, what do you know, here's another one:

Step into the modern age with cams that don't wipe down and give extra horsepower to boot.
I would gladly pay the extra $350 to make sure the engine doesn't whittle itself away.....disassembly, cleaning, and refresh costs are a lot more than that. I'd pay the $350 for the extra 30-40 hp alone.
No one said anything about originality....we're talking about making engines survive and getting power to boot. I'd rather work on a carb than an injected motor any day.....but I also like not having to worry about cam breakin, special cam lube, $7/quart break-in oil, blah, blah, blah. I've said this on many other threads....but I've never put a flat tappet cam in an engine that I've built for a customer. And never will.

You refudiated yourself. I'll stop now. Just pulling your chain. :LOL: |

Actually I haven't....
Notice the last line. This one isn't for a customer, it's for me. :)

Just ignore Mr. RodKnock, the naive simpleton that he is, and stick with me. We'll get that solid flat tappet camshaft in there and you'll be dancing in no time.:cool: |

Take your time and come up with the specs and who you would like to grind it. I think the turnaround on a custom cam is pretty quick and I will order it when you tell me you're ready for it. |
