"The way I see it is even if his lobe designs aren't right up to date, a cam design from the 90's or even the 80's would be better than from the 50's to mid 60's. Besides, he can grind whatever duration and lobe sep you want. I think there would be very few people interested in making a full race motor with big lumpy cams, but I know I would be interested in having more street pep and better overall torque of an RV style cam.
Take a look at their website, I think they would be the best people to take on this project."
Ok...You convinced me. It would be better with a small company anyways as they will most likely show more appreciation for small orders.
There is a problem with the early MEL (1958) as there were several valvetrain failures and upgrades. I know of one gentleman that had a major cam grinder (an origional supplier) grind him a cam fairly recently and the grinder needed to know when the block/heads were cast as to determine what changes MEL had performed on it. I am still seeking this information (in the form of factory TSB's).
And you are correct. I doubt that anyone is going to want a full race cam, just something to give it a little more pull and thumpity-thump.
I am sure there will be several people on the LCOC board that will be interested.
I would also like to start a knowledge base of interchangeable parts (FE) and parts suppliers that we can all share.
Maybe we should start a sign-up campaign?
