Z-Machine Ocheyedan, Iowa

Does anyone know the status on Z-Machine? A friend shipped a 36 21 stud there for machine work, they no longer answer the phone or respond to email. Has been there for quite a while.

Re: Camshaft choices

How does the 8BA. or 8CM compare to the Kiwi-L100?

My 36 Coupe 221cu has a cam with a T-5 stamped on the front. (pressed on gear) Lift measure at .308.
