I have my 284/484 and matched lifters well broke in, have same new cam you have (274)to go back in.we thought purple was bad, but actually looks fine now that is out.
If it would help you keep the car, want this cam, as a donation??
Hate to see you lose hope.
LMK,postal ride would be relatively cheap...

I'm 55 now, no time to waste. Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"
