BTW, That cam listed as #13 was one of the cams they used in building my 499 back when Hardesty was paying the bills. I was looking for it for a core as there are no 48* core available. The one I have is being reground to a Lunati 40230912 at 114*, which I will run N/A in the motor at 10-1 on pump swill. Same heads and intake as the motor had and same 3.85 x 4.530. We'll see....

Won't do me any good. My heads are 4.840, plus I already have an ultra low deck, odd ball block that is a door stop. Don't need another

Looks like a good deal if you can find a crank that isn't used up for it, but would likely need a new one made for the 4.840" main/4.900" bore spacing. Was probably for a 450ish ci Comp motor back in the day.
