I sent you a privite message in regaurds to that issue.

Don't know if you have found a solution closer, but every time I ask about a GMC or 235/261 cam I get told to talk to Delta Cam in Tacoma WA. I have not had dealings with them, yet.

One of the best in the business is Dema Elgin, of Elgin cams. He learned the cam business from the godfather of cams Ed Winfield. Elgin cams have been on everything from Indy cars, NASACR, F1 and just about every other type of car. Yes even model T. He has all of Ed Winfield’s masters for the model T.

He built me a special cam for my Jimmy taking into count the bad cam twist the 302 has at high RPM. I know this year it should make lots of HP at Bonneville. I am not trying to be a salesman for Elgin cams but when you consider that your top three car companies use them and that he built a cam for Kenny Cloth’s ’49 Merc Stock bodied sedan with a flathead get to a 140MPH record at Bonneville you might want to take a look at them, Oh, I forgot to mention that he is very reasonable. http://www.elgincams.com

I didn't see anything in their site for our chevy L6s But it did make for some interesting reading/Info

I agree with Sum Fun. I talked to Dema about the cam requirements for the 321 GMC I'm building and was very impressed with the personal response I received. I mailed the blank cam, 12 used and 12 new lifters to him this morning. He'll not only grind the cam but will test the lifters for hardness and make sure they have the correct radius on the contact surface.

I do all the dyno testing and tuning at a local performance machine shop and have access to several cam companies. I'm sure I'll use him a lot in the future.
