IMHO, I suggest that regardless of what cam you get, take the time to have an expert check it out before you install it. Seen lots of issues in this dept .

I'm sorry bout bad pic's... adding pic's is all new to me ;(
This 383 only had one trip out racing (NOT my work), any how customer brought her in to me, upon teardown , it was obvious that the mains had been line honed....Problem here is that the caps were looser than a goose in the block registers, they were walk'in front to back, side to side...Felt bad 4 the guy. It's toast!!!!!!!!

About 5 years ago I had my 78 Suburban (a tank!) up on 4 jack stands & the floor jack still under the cross member for extra safety. All I was doing was rotating tires, as soon as I removed the pass side rear tire, the whole damn truck fell to the ground scared the crud outa me, a near miss for sure... Havent been under a car since! My fault I didnt take into account that my drive way has a slight decline......

Thank's Guys for your feed back...this IMHO could make a good topic.
Anyhow, I dont get into reconfiguring head port design, but wat I like to do is the following in house: I'll have my customer bring their heads in with int.//Ex. manifolds too bolt everything up use dykem to mark everything out, and go from there., and I usually will suggest to jus port match everything, reshape the guide area,bowl blend,dust chambers,get into the intake ports about 2 inches smooth everything out , then bout 1.5 inches on the exhaust ... I call that Stage II. Any input or improvements u rec? Jus talkin bout chevy heads as an example here ;) Attach file: pp.jpg (22.79 KB)

Hope this helps :
Just some very basic clearances that I would check IMHO 1) Mains .002 5/10 - .003 2/10 2) rods .001 8/10 - .002 4/10 3) rod side clear. .012 -.017 4)piston to wall Follow manufacturer specs. 5) ring end gaps .018- .021 (TOP & BOTT) 6) crank thrust .004-.006 7) piston to deck .005-.017 below deck Just safe numbers in my opinion...application may vary. Also I would pull all the oil plugs outa the block re-clean , then lock them back in place with lock tite. Attach file: 404528_2245955326988_1791312576_1522190_1179949592_n.jpg (33.22 KB)

One thing I gotta say bout the C3's is the faster you go the more they suck down into the ground.....They r my favorite vettes. My roadster was set up for top end, monster top end cam n valve train, stock gears, 2" taller tires in rear....... Will never know how fast she could go except to say I've never been in a faster car...

Oh, ya want the story, okay :
This was bout 30 yrs ago, My buddy and I were out late night in winter time in the roadster.We were almost home when I decided to do a quartermile pass near my home, had her wound out in 2nd gear pretty tight(turbo 400) I was in the fast lane,all of a sudden a blue 280z crossed into my lane, I hit the brakes and apparently the right front caliper locked up and jerked the wheel right outa my hands..I recall we did a number of 360"s, car was completely outa control, we hit curbs,fences, tree's, this seemed to last forever.....When it ended I found my self thrown out of the car bout 75 feet behind the car on the street and my friend was still in car.. We both emerged unharmed, when cops arrived they measured over 200 feet of skid marks and fiberglass was scattered everywhere !Cops said it was a miracle we were alive, as there was nothing left of the vette at all..The police said the fiberglass absorbed all the impact and that saved us... As for my friend, he had an 80 vette,after this he sold it never to drive his car again. I found a new respect for Corvettes and speed.. Forgot to add I did pee all over my self too,just a few scratches and torn clothe............
