.. for a 48 degree block, can't seem to find any. Not sure if MP still makes them. So is there any other source? And what kind of $$$ am I looking at when all is said and done, thanks.

Comp cams ground 1 for me a couple yrs ago. Check with Bullit or Predator cams. I think my cam was around 425.00. Can't remember exactly.

I have a R1A block that takes 2" babbit bearings on all 5 cam journals, so if you find a source of UGL cams let me know.

Mancini had them for sale on eBay. So I bought 1. It arrived a week later, opened the box & found a flat tappet cam. [ Moparts Family Site - Keep it Friendly ]. Called them up & go a lame excuse that they may have them in a parts container out behind the shop. Said they were busy & didn't have time to search for them. I did get a refund.

Are you sure it was a flat tappet cam? I ordered one of their cams from eBay also and got a UGL 60mm roller cam core. I have a 60mm block also, so I kept it even though it wasn't what I wanted. Was yours gun drilled through the shaft?

Deal fell through on the block I was looking at. But still might go the Ritter route, 48 degree, 9.6 deck, 4.185 bore. May go W8's or Indy 360-1 48's.. all that fun stuff.

I know a flat tappet cam when I see one. It's painted gold between the lobes, I think it's a crane cam? It does have some numbers stamped on the back end, but I haven't checked on them. No cam card. It's drilled on the 2nd & 4th main with grooves.

Just asking... No need to get offensive😉. It sounds like a flat tappet cam. When I got the one I received I had to ask Brett what exactly I had received. It's different than any cam I had seen. Here's mine
Sounds like Mancini sent out whatever they could find on the shelf.

Sorry, no offense meant. It is a flat tappet cam of unknown lift or anything. They told me to keep it. I really have no use for it. The cam u have is what I wanted. I'm sure the mains could be ground down to 50mm. That's what my block is now.

Good plating between the lobes is usually how 8620 steel billet cores are.
