Cams cams cams..... With as much as there is now days, if you can't find what you need, and no one will make it, then you got a problem..... Here's what I've been thinking here lately about this Duster project.... Going to use this kit:
400 >> 470. (3.915" stroke/6.535" rod) Approximate Bobweight: 2160
This kit is a great choice for an engine that will see a lot of street use, but still make some serious power. The low deck, 3.915" stroke version of our Platinum Series crank used in this kit has the smaller 2.200" (big block Chevy sized) journals, and the counterweights are finished at the smaller "B" engine size, to ensure they will drop right into the block with no counterweight clearancing issues. Depending on the block used, many of our customers find this kit drops right in with no modifications whatsoever! Please note that Clevite's only main bearings available for 400 engines are the "P" series bearings. These bearings may require slight modification to clear the larger radius on our cranks. Most shops will be able to do this without a problem. See our Bearings page for details. We keep all the kits listed below normally on our our shelf and ready to ship, usually within 24 hours!
After some asking around, and talking with a few folks, the INDY SR's will probably be a better choice, I've leaned on over to looking to run a Mechanical Flat Tappet fast ramp cam.... Here's the thing, I'm planning on staying away from Crane, met up with someone who has ran a few of Crane's products, and I've heard nothing but complaints, so... This still leaves more than enough to choose from... But who? When I was looking to run the 505 Stroker, I think Chryco said to contact Steve Slavic, I was given a phone # to call, and that was his old #, then I was given a new #.....
Anyway, I finaly got ahold of him, and got a grind # and spec's for a cam from him.... So, anyone got any suggestions on a manufacture, or what?
