[efnfast]

New to me regrind cams just arrived. (Thanks Lee, did my check show up?).
No immediate plans to install them, but I'll try to keep this post up to date as things change. - Steve

Lee, can you repost the spec's on the cams? It appears the original thread has been deleted and I don't have them.
Also, rumor has it I will need new lifters. What do I need for lifters?

[BigJohn]

Steve take them off the kitchen table!

Think the wife will be mad if the entire engine is broken down on the table and parts are soaking in the sink?

Do I just need a new set of stock lifters? Or will I need something special?

[LGAFF]

you need new stock lifters; builder should check clearances, etc

[efnfast]

Sooooo, can I pre-order these if I find them on sale?
Are they all the same, or are there better sources/quality?

Well, I knew these cams wouldn't sit around long. The plan is:
Install the cams
New lifters
Time them
Port the heads, matched to the IH's
Remove the secondaries
Install exhaust valve seals
Replace the rod bearings
Tune
SS bolts
Powder coat the cam covers
Light weight pulleys

Miss anything????

Definitely interested to see the results. I was hovering over the "I'll take'm" button when you took them. I've already got all the other stuff done.
