MP 528hemi crate cam??

I need to know what cam/oil pump gear they would have came with?bronze?thx guys

I don’t know if there were changes throughout the production run, but my MP catalog shows them using the 292 Hyd cam.

thx Fast .....its hyd roller that looks like it has a cast steel gear....

Stock gear, not bronze.

Doesn't the melanized gear look like iron or stock gears
I bought four of them last year from Ultra Dyne last year, two A motors and two B/RB gen 2 hemi gears that look exactly like the stock gears, I hope they are real

yup I agree thats what I put back in......had a bronze one started to get chewed up !!! buddies car

thx guys

I’ve never seen any type of roller cam for a BBM/Hemi that wasn’t steel.
Steel cams are not compatible with stock iron oil pump drive gears.

ok so needs another bronze gear?this one got chewed in 5k miles....that doesn't seem norm to me.

I don’t believe those engines ever came with HR cams.
If you’re sure it’s a roller cam, then it should be a steel core........ which would require an upgraded drive gear.

Wearing one of the bronze ones out in 5k isn’t all that unusual.

These days, many are opting to use a melonized steel gear instead of bronze.....especially for the street & street/strip stuff.

I'm stunned there is no "street friendly" hydraulic roller cam for a Hemi yet? My buddy wears out bronze intermediate gears regularly, the melonized gear a couple times. I wanted a hydraulic roller or roller for mine but I don't know how to solve the intermediate gear issue !!?!

Edelbrock sells a hydraulic roller G2 Hemi camshaft, that they claim supports 700hp on a 528 with their heads. Typically hydraulic lifters aren't used much in serious hemi engines because the valve-train is super heavy and the lifters don't work well, rpm is limited etc. I had a somewhat mild solid roller ground for my 540 Hemi (not running yet) and I'm hoping a melonized gear will function well with the steel cam core. I plan to drive it on the street a lot.

Depends where it came from.

Cummins Recon one was the 292 hydraulic flat tappet.

Barton one had no catalogued specs and was not even available as a service part for the engine, I never agreed with that decision and thought it was ridiculous.
But, it was also a hydraulic flat tappet.

They came with the regular gear on the intermediate shaft.

I put a Crane street roller in my 572.
