Default Are you going crazy with a big motor?

Rodknock If you are not going crazy with a 8,000rpm motor and .800" cam You might want to look at the ERSON roller rocker setup. I put them on my stroker shelby motor and are very happy. They are lifting only a .600" cam. It's a hydro roller from crane. I am building a larger motor from 482 to 498 with a KCR custom hydro roller cam. I have oiling on the ersons both in the shafts with an .080" restrictor and pushrods oiling also for the cup and ball on the rocker. The head work for cutting down the mounts was $300.00 alone. The T&D's where 1K. Pushrods from Smith brothers was $300.00. You can save between 5-600 dollars on this alone. I am also running beehive spring in my motor but limit the rpms to 6,200. KCR has some great custom cams. His head work is good also. If you are looking for a little stronger balanced motor, Joe craine does a great CFM port job on the intakes. There is a 20-40 cfm differents between port flow on some intakes. He gets around $300.00 for the work. This is a good bang for the buck. You might want to look into this. Do you have some motor spec's?? and idea of TORQUE and HP you are looking at? You might not need to go this crazy Rick L.
