Russ, by the “new” hemi grind...... you mean the 280/.474-110?

I never tried one of those.
Seems like there was some deal where it came without lifters, and by the time you bought the lifters the cost ended up being quite a bit more than a 484 or 509 cam & lifter kit.

If I stumbled across a NIB one now I might pick it up if the price was right.

Fundamentally I like solids so much better it’s unlikely I’d ever use it in one of my own motors though.
