How old are ya 'Flyer???
The cam in my truck is a Sig hyd 264/.480" lift, installed back in '79 or '80 when good hydro lifters could be had. Came through Clifford.
The '57 has a Crower solid cam, 260/.450" lift. It came in a 3/4 built 235 that was a friggin JNIX. Broke a valve spring (Crower) causing a dropped intake valve. Fully ported head flunked mag with a crack above a water jacket. A year ago it spun a rod bearing. Despite Corwer being a hometown co. (San Diego), I will NEVER buy anything from them, as I also broke a rod of theirs in a NEW race motor that lasted 3 laps. I would rather say "its a Schneider..."
'Guess by today's standards, both would be closer to RV grinds... but 3/4 sounds better - don'tcha think???
I'm still looking for a solid referral to a shop in SoCal that can weld up the ported head. Any help from the troops here???
Thanks 'Flyer for keepin' me honest - I think!!!
