Ultradyne made some very good stuff. That looks like the '68 340 stick cam.. Also a very good peice.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Ultradyne and Bullett cams are in the same building, I'm not sure what the exact reasons are, but both grind decent Mopar cams. What motor and intended use are you thinking of using this cam in? As already pointed out it is not a race cam or a very big cam for street use

Ultradyne, and the guy who designed those lobes (Harold Brookshire), are legendary. He also designed the Comp XE and Lunati Voodoo lines of cams, which are some of the best ever 'off the shelf' grinds (in their day.) BUT, I believe most of the Ultradyne cams were custom...which means custom for somebody else's setup, not yours. And this would be a very old grind by now. I believe they've been out of business for decades. So a modern grind from the Lunati Voodoo line (designed by the same guy, but perhaps 10 years newer design) would probably be better. However, for the right application, that probably would have been one of the best cams you could have bought (just because of who designed it)...20 years ago.

Ultradyne made some good stuff. They went out of business and one guy went to Lunati and the other went to Bullet cams. Harold Brookshire and Tim Goolsby are the two fellas I'm referring to, just can't remember which went where.

Not worth much IMO. Its basically a torque cam, that's just abit better then stock. Think RV/truck cam. Its very mild with not a lot of lift. I do like the 110 LSA though. If its for the 360, id go bigger, more like 220 @ .050 and 480 lift or so if you want more power but still be a mild cam. Does it come with the lifters? I myself see nobody really wanting that cam. Maybe a 318 guy though...

Ultradyne used to be the place you went to when you wanted the best cam money could buy. Their stuff was more expensive than Crane, etc., but it was worth it.
