Sweet! Not sure specs on that cam, but i'm sure it will run well.

Should be a nice solid 600+ HP engine.

Is this Nicks old business?? A son maybe?

Do you know if they installed a cam button? I see that washer welded to the timing cover.

Did they dyno it?

Is this your cam?

Yes, his son did the work.

The engine has been broken it, but no dyno. No cam button that I am aware of. Flat tappet cam.

Yep that is the cam used in this engine.

Good deal, glad you got it done.

Thanks man, I will be able to finish the car and drive it while collecting parts for my hemi. That is the end game but it will take a looong while I am sure!

Nice!

I liked Nick and was sorry to hear that he passed. I hope the business is going well for his son now.

Nick was a good dude, I enjoyed talking to him on the phone.

Had to replace a bad block for him once,
and that replacement resulted in the machining program being changed.
I wonder if the current block supply chain has any idea of that tweak, but maybe I shouldn't want to know.

Nice build!
Is that a standard port intake ported to max wedge size? If so, who did it and how much?

Excited for you!! Should run great!!
Loved Nick Sr. I live around the corner from him. He followed me home in the Dart one time to make sure everything was running well. Nick Jr is a chip off the old block. Super solid guy

Yes, it is a standard port intake opened up to max wedge. Nick Jr. did that for me when he built the engine. Not sure how much it cost since I had the whole engine done over there.

Thanks! I’ll probably be doing the same.
