Default Re: What Y-Block camshafts work well with automatic transmissions?

Who manufactures a billet flat-tappet cam for anything other than diesels?

This may be a better option,a lot of guys on the H.A.M.B. use them for vintage engine camshafts instead of buying a "Cam in a box" camshaft if you give them the exact specs of your engine and it's intended use they can grind you a custom grind to fit your exact needs. https://deltacam.com/ They also can apply a hardening to better withstand today's engine oils.

If you decide to go with a steel billet, have Jones Cams do it.

Mike Jones designs and grinds cams for many of the top teams in just about any type of racing there is. He can do a steel billet, furnish the special lifters required and furnish the special distributor drive gear required. All at a reasonable price.

Tell him I sent you and he might only raise the price 10%....LOL

They have a billet cam for the Ford Y-block engine? What about Y-block lifters? Got to be a first.
