Yesterday I took the car for the first time out an took 2 lobes off the MP purple Cam and wrecked 2 lifters. I don't know any history on the motor build other that it sat a long time. I don't have much confidence in choosing a new cam and lifters for this motor, just want it to be powerful yet street able with the automatic. Thanks Brent hoffmanhhr@gmail.com

I think his number is 248-477-7776. Some members are using his cams. [img]http://www.imgur.com/hxlGUJt.gif[/img] 4-speed 3:54 Dana 13.01 @107.93 with street tires (not hooking up)

Thanks Brent Did you do some sort of pre start lubing procedure? Like: -pre-lube the motor like it was a fresh start up through the distributor. -While doing that spin the motor and check is the valve train was getting oil -Maybe put some additive in their too I could have been worn before you even started it up. Might want to check seat pressures and size of valve springs. Last edited by autoxcuda; 04/28/15 03:01 AM.

As mention you must use heavy amounts of break-in AND a can of Zinc additive at each oil change. Even with syntho oil. [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!
