John, I,m assuming you are going from wild to mild on your "bump stick". I have a KC 427 612HP. Too much for cruising. Going to install Rhoads lifters.
I know a lot of gearheads who swear by them. Your thoughts? Billyboy |

BB,
I don't know how wild or mild, but staying with the Crane solid roller. We are just trying to build more torque, starting 3500 / 4000 rpm vs 4500 / 5000, and make the car quicker. It will be interesting to see how this new cam behaves in relation to top end pull. I don't know anything about the Rhoads variable duration lifters. It would not be my approach but sounds like they work well for the folks who use them. Looks like they make a solid product. http://www.rhoadslifters.com/Pages/index.html Let us know how they workout. Talk soon, John |
John,
Hey Man... nothin' but Jesel Roller Lifters starting at $1,795.00 for Baby Cam! Hahahaha. |
Duane,
When Jon Bennett told me that, he didn't even hesitate. He was like, "well that's just the standard", you know? Like drinking a glass of water or something. What ever happened to just making a little extra hp and having some fun? John |
John,
If you got it, spend it. Maurice |
What does the weather look like for Sat?
Maurice |
Saturday's forecast - partly cloudy and nippely :LOL:
My wife has the bug for a new car, so I may be predisposed tomorrow.... but there is always a chance. Any plans for a place? |
I like those New Bugs too, Phil. Your wife has good taste.
I think if no one comes up with a plan, I`ll go to Mels` for breakfast and then over to Fe Enterprises and say hi to Tom and John Marsey. I took a small ride Thursday to keep my heart rate up. Maurice |
Maurice my friend,
I may drive over to ACE and buy some bug-b-gone :LOL: Mel's in Folsom? |
Good one,
Folsom, unless some one comes up with another plan. Maurice |
Maurice,
FYI... Appears they'll be finishing up in the morning. New Baby roller cam is installed, new timing chain, valves adjusted, just waiting on a new distributor from Reno. Man, those solid roller cams are living up to their reputation once again and can be quite expensive before and after purchase. Maybe I'll see you all at Mel's minus Cobra. |
John
Good luck with the cam, just when I thought there was nothing better you could do with your JBL,you came up with something. You'll like your new cam. Duane & Maurice I'll have to pass on Mels, too many things to wrap up at the house before I go back East for the holidays. Have fun!! |
I'm staying home sick........sorry.:(
|
Vince,
Thanks! I can always use a little luck with that car so thanks for the thought. My timing was good though with this cam change. We found a very stretched timing chain and a distributor gear with no teeth. I think we caught it just in time. I'll keep you posted. :) Maurice, I hope to see you and Duane later. Tom was having a rough day yesterday, nothing seemed to go right for him, and could use some cheering up. He also has an drag race FE at the shop right now, he just finished, which is going to LA very soon. He fired it last night and OMG what a monster. Hope to see you. :eek: John |
Maurice & Duane,
That early morning ride wasn't quite cold enough for me, but standing on that cement floor in Tom's shop did the trick! Some nice looking stuff in there.... including John's Boss JBL :) Sorry I couldn't stick around a bit longer to hear it, but my teeth were chattering so loud I probably wouldn't have heard it anyway. It's now 3PM and I can at last feel my toes :p http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/PC160013.JPG |
Phil,
Except for the different hearth, that could be a picture of me. Same slippers and insert. I hope Doug made it home ok . smile Maurice |
Maurice,
I've had the stove going 24/7 and most likely will for the next several days. Doug peeled off and went after some hottie in a Mustang.... but I headed home ;) |
