I'm pretty sure you CAN do it, just not sure you'd WANT to...
I think I know that most roller tappet stuff is made from billet, so carving the 5 bearing cam for the A/B shouldnt be a big deal, once the setup program is overcome, but how many is enough to make it worth it, cost=wise?
I don't have a clue about that, but I'm sure its a question that has to have a good answer before anybody is going to jump in and start grinding.
I'm watching this, curious about the internals also. Hope it takes off.
Good Luck, Tod.  |
It would be FAR more practical just install two bolt in cam bearing blocks in the block and grind the appropriate area on the cam. This has been done many times.
There is another alternative also if you have a back yard machine shop.
This cam started out a stock model A core. It has 5 oversize journals
and .488 lift. Lots of welding required but the overall cost of the finished product was about 10% cheaper than a bar stock billet.
