    FOR SALE Big block Comp cam .509

    How did you find this camshaft, too small, too big for your setup. I was considering the similar camshaft with the larger lift. But I think your camshaft would suit mine. 65 Coronet, Edelbrock RPM heads and intake, 2800 stall, 3.9 gears. Street driven, no racing.

    New Cam with Shiny Lobes

    Hi, I bought a new Comp cam and when I opened the box to take a peek the lobes have kind of shiny wear patterns almost like it has been used. Is this normal from the grinding process? All the pictures on Comp Cams website show nice black lobes. It's been some time since I bought a new camshaft...

    Thanks, I have pretty much the same set up. With XE285HL cam and 3.9 gears, 65 Coronet. I was going to use the new version of the 509 cam but decided on the XE285 instead.

I am reading that for pump gas your dynamic compression should be around 8 to 1 and 165 psi cranking pressure for an iron headed big block. Does this sound right? The camshaft I want...

    440 Head Gasket Advice

    Hi, can I use steel shim gaskets for aluminum heads? Some posts say yes, some say no. I have a 440 with aluminum heads and to get 10.1 compression I calculated a .020 head gasket. Can anyone recommend a gasket I should use. Thank you.

    Crane Clearance Camshaft

    Thanks, your engine sounds pretty much like I plan to build. I have Edelbrock heads from a previous build I didn't use and was hoping to get away with using a stock convertor. Leigh

    Crane Clearance Camshaft

    Thanks for your reply, can I ask about your engine? Did you have any head work done, O/S valves etc. Did you use a high stall convertor?
