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....
