67 GT500....Eleanor 482ci build
« on: May 10, 2024, 12:44:14 AM »
Hello FE Power. This is my first post, and I thought I'd share what brought me here.

Currently I'm building a 482 for a client to replace a broken "428CJ". A 5 piece camshaft does considerable damage to the cam tunnel, main webbing, and rotating assembly.

I hope to enjoy my time here, and gain some knowledge of the FE world.

Welcome to the forum.  I have seen a lot of damaged engines, and one cam that was broken in two pieces, but I have never seen one broken into five.  Any idea what caused the failure?
