In your artical about stroking the slantsix in the stroker 170 section, there was a comment about a roller cam. I am very interested in finding out were to get such a thing along with the related valve train. I have a 360 in a duster that has one. What a difference. I can't see why anyone would put in a flat tappet cam if you had the choice of a roller. Any information on the subject will be used in my next slanter project. Thanks bparsons bparsons@coi-world.com |

I think you have to make the entire cam shaft using a custom steel core. I think cast iron is too soft. I don't think these are commercially available! I think you will have to find a machinist to make this part. I saw an article in Hot Rod magazine which stated some advantages of using roller bearings to replace the babbet. If you're going to spend money in a motor there's plenty of ways to do it! Quote:

I will post some additional info. when I get back to my home computer. (next week) I am like you, once you run a roller, there is no going back to flat tappet cams. DD |
