Not the right Cams
« on: March 09, 2019, 01:22:11 PM »
Well My Engine was almost together until we were setting up the cams and found out the cams are not what they are supposed to be, what a disappointment I bought these cams in 2006, that is the problem with taking your whole life to finish a project but everything cost money, but Jay Brown came to the rescue and ordered the right ones for Me, we are coming along with the body work paint job it is black so a lot of sanding, Thanks Jay.

Matt called me Leny and asked me about some and I called a buddy I thought could help but still haven't heard back from him on cams. I'm glad Jay was able to order what you needed. Looking forward to seeing this thing come to life.

Imagine what that degree wheel would look like on a 289!

What was wrong with the cams? Too small/big or both the same side?
