Re: 143 Blueprint Cam Install
Forgot to mention that I used the Joe Gibb break-in oil along with the supplied lube on the cam......I set the valves with the Intake off and brought the engine to TDC...before putting the Intake back on I spread the rest of the Cam lube on the Lobes thru the opening in the lifter valley....That way I didn't have to turn the engine over at all before starting , this kept the Maximum lube at the point of contact at start-up....Back filled the Carb thru the Vent tube also.....It started after about a half a revolution and took it right up to 3000.....

Re: 143 Blueprint Cam Install
I have the 143 Crane made cam and it doesn't run worth a darn with the manifolds and the correct dual exhaust .But it sounds good .I need to try headers and a twin muffler set up and see what happens .

[/ QUOTE ] I don't wanna sound like a *douche*, but I'll say there's a good chance it ain't the manifolds/exhaust that's hurting the performance...even if it's the original 2.5" exhaust [actually <2" in spots] it'll still let a BBC do it's thing.

[/ QUOTE ] We have seen this camshaft work very well at the drag strip with decent exhaust. I agree with Rob, it's not the camshaft that is holding you up. If it is then you are very light on the compression. 396/375 motors have made 450 on the dyno with that camshaft. More camshafts and lifters on the way to those who have ordered. Rob will PM you if its coming to your door. Jim
