Default Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?

If the lifters have the EDM hole and are American made, I would take a set. No hurry on the cam here. Just would like to have one around in case.

Rob, I just bought a Comp Cams 3863143 replacement cam for my L78. Specs all look to be identical to the GM cam. Part number is 11-106-3. What do you think? Are these not any good? Thanks Mike

Mike, there is nothing wrong with this cam. I have the same one in my 70 L78 Nova and the motor has been together since 1999 and it runs strong. I have had no issues at all. Very good camshaft!!

Here's the latest on the '143' cam...Jim Lerum has done 99% of the legwork here, so a big THANKS needs to go out to him...and since we've had a better than expected response, we got a little help on the price...here's the scoop:

<u>Cam:</u>
$150 + $15 s&amp;h

Cam will be an Engine Power cam core, which is Made in the USA and supplies cores to all of the big companies, and then Bullet Cams will CNC grind it to exact specs, which not even the original GM/Crane piece can claim.


<u>Lifters: </u>
standard solid lifters, $70 + $3 s&amp;h
EDM solid lifters, $165 + $3 s&amp;H

Lifters are Johnson lifters, which have been around forever, and are also Made in the USA. Again, for EDM lifters, PM me for price

We hope to start shipping these in around 10 days, and will get them out to the priority guys first...again, if you need a cam/lifters ASAP, please drop me a PM and check the list @ the beginning of the thread as I'll make a notation beside your name.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you comfortable with PayPal, you can use the button below, just *be sure* and make a note in the comments section of the transaction exactly what you're paying for [cam and/or lifters] along with your physical shipping address &amp; contact number:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<p align="center"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" border="0" name="I2" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" align="absmiddle" width="62" height="31"><input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]"><input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="sYc and Supercar Registry"><input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="Support for the club, bulletin board, and Supercar Reunion!"><input type="hidden" name="image_url" value="https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/supercarlogo.gif"><input type="hidden" name="return" value="https://www.yenko.net/donation.htm"><input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"><input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
</form>

For those of you who prefer snail mail, you can simply send it to the club, and I'll take it from there...but as above, include a note stating *exactly* what you're paying for [cam and/or lifters] along with your physical shipping address &amp; contact number.

Hey, isn't Bullet Cams the remnants of the old Ultradyne Cam company? Ultradyne really had their act together and were responsible for some fast running motors! I used to have a little '64 Chevy II with a ZZ4 350 GM crate engine, where the stock hydraulic roller was junked and replaced with an Ultradyne solid roller (.560-.600 lift) and that little car would run 11.70's. Anyway, this sounds like a good deal for everyone and considering the quality (or lack of) of today's oils, the EDM option may be agood idea. I used EDM'ed lifters during my last solid cam build and have had no flat cam issues. Knock on wood!
