Good evening! I'm looking for regrindable camshaft cores for Chevy stovebolt 216 engines. The 216 had a forged steel cam, and a custom cam manufacturer in California tells me he can regrind steel cams for use with roller valve lifters. Cast iron cams won't make the cut. I'm in the process of designing a couple of bored and stroked stovebolt engines based on the 216 that run MOPAR big block roller lifters in slightly sleeved-down lifter bores. I'm elininating the rocker arm shafts and rockers, and replacing them with stud mounted roller rockers for a big block Chevy V8. The engines will end up with as much as 258 cubic inches with aluminum pistons and H beam connecting rods, and a compression ratio around 9.5:1 in an engine that looks like a completely stock 216 from the outside. I'm expecting to get around 150 HP, nearly twice as much as an original Babbit-rod spray oiler 216. Please PM me with availability and price if you have a 216 cam that's gathering dust on the shelf. Thanks!
Jerry
