I spoke with a cam grinding company about camshafts for MEL's. He said he didn't know of anyone making new cams for MEL's, but he did say the cam core makers would cast a minimum order of 100 cam cores. He said if he had 50 orders to cover half the investment he would move forward with the MEL cams. The price on each core is about 65 or so and a finished cam is about 150--without lifters. The lifters would cost about 40 or so, he said the lifters are cheap because they are the same as an FE lifter.
I know I would like a more up to date camshaft design when I rebuild my 430. I would order a couple cam shafts and maybe some cores--so that would lower the amount of people that we need to make this happen.

thanks,
Mark Piechowski
