Thanks for this thread.

I sent Bob an email yesterday mentioning I read about him in this post, and this morning he replied, provided several phone #'s to get a hold of him to talk about using his automatic cam in my 300. Wow!

Update: 2/4/08 I called Bob today, what a great guy! Very helpful, full of all kinds of information and willing to help with cam setup, should I need it.

I think his price of $235 (cam only, but includes shipping)for one of HIS cams with Chrysler lobes instead of Chevy lobes is $$ WELL SPENT! I'll be sending a check out his way.

the only thing i disagree wit hthere is shimming the rocker shaft for proper preload , thats going to affect rocker to valve tip geometry if you get too carried away

John, I agree. I'd change the pushrod length first, should it come to it.

Then again, Bob worked with Tom Hoover

Bob did tell me specifically when the valvetrain is assembled, and the lifter is on the base circle of the lobe, make sure the plunger in the lifter is not touching the retainer in the lifter body, but is just under it.

you'll need to assemble it and check , if you need no more than .010 worth of shim then go for it , but check the rocker contact sweep , if its ok , run it , otherwise do it right ...

at least thats what i would be doing .

I have to agree with everything you said. When it's time to have the engine re-done and install the 440source heads, I'll find out then if anything needs any kind of shimming or whatnot.

Still, I'm pretty about gettign the cam.

Wow! Nearly two months later and the thread is still going strong! I had no idea!

Ken, thanks for the update on the cam. I haven’t bought the cam yet, so it’s cool to actually see pictures of what you get for your hard earned dough. Keep us posted on how it works out for you. BTW, What cams have you run before this?

Thanks again!

Uh, the original 350hp cam...the engine has never been apart, and even now it starts up without a hint of smoke.

I will definitely let everyone know about how this works , once the engine is gone through and installed back in the car.


I just sent Demonsizzler $$ for a TQ and his fuel line set-up he's offering!! The fuel lines come with a fuel log/filter AND pressure gauge!

Ken,don't expect to hear much of a "rumble" with that 6-pack cam! With a 114 LSA,it should idle nice and smooth. I'm sure it'll make more power than the stocker though,even with the same lift as the stock cam! Good Luck with it!

That's what I expect, perfect smooth engine at Idle, with maybe a bit of grunt when I get into it/more punch off line if I need it.

Folks will probably see my car and think it's a huge slug of a car, but I will know the real story.

Hmmm, maybe I should plan on doing the Silver State Classic once?
