Update on the Jimmy project...
The cam was ordered yesterday. The profile is exciting and all Charles could say was "wow" and 'Hmmm". The profile is based on the following factors...
4.080 bore
4.00 stroke
Big port "D" chamber head, slightly ported with light flow work
Buick straight eight rockers at 1.75 lift (stamped not cast)
Stock Milk jugs
Howard intake with five 97 SP topped Strombergs.
After the Crank gets back from grinding it will go for balancing with a 270 "hsrmonic balancer" rods and pistons as well as the totally coolio Schiefer aluminum flywheel I uncovered out of a stack of about 30. My favorite fab guy is removing the Chevy crank pattern and boring the flywheel for the 270 crank that will go into the 302.
This has been the most fun I have had in years. Pop's doodads are cool. And to think that when I first got here the junk guys were just saying that all this stuff was "crap" and needed to be hauled off. They should be ashamed of themselves!!!!
