He's already ordered the roller setupI think the Pro Line in my friends 302 is made by Elgin, might be worth looking into if you really dont want to convert to a roller, I went with a Lunati roller cam and Howards Max Effort (Gaterman) lifters 2 years ago after reading about so many HFT cam/lifter failures
I missed thatHe's already ordered the roller setup
Morel lifters? I've read a lot of bad things about the lower cost street series that Lunati, Comp and others call their own but are Morel, read anything from oil viscosity to fibers from the oil filter or dirt getting inside making them noisy, 1 of my cust. has a nice 76 Vette with a 550hp 467 and I noticed he stops smiling when he starts it up, same Lunati cam I'm using but he used Lunati (Morel) lifters, I'm using Howards Max Effort (Gatormen) and 175# closed 450# open springs presNo breakin necessary on a roller. Built two roller small blocks, both successful, both with somewhat mild numbers and mild spring pressure. Used valvoline vr1.
Performance is good, the noise I hate. It's fine in the cockpit, but hearing it outside the car always annoys me.
If that Comp Cam was a FT, I've heard they are noisy because Comp uses an opening ramp that's too aggressive.Sorry, can't answer that, the first build I bought the valvetrain through my engine builder, picking the cam specs and letting his judgement rule the lifters......12 years back. The next time I used some lifters that came with a used engine I had. That cam was a comp cam and I replaced it with a comp cam but used the same lifters. That's the noisiest of both sets. Maybe the reason they're so noisy is because they're comp stuff???
People are hurting, the economy is falling apart.Got it going a while ago with a "Stock" grind this time.
Runs well but not so snappy as the first cam.
Gets decent mileage but I am disappointed that I have not been able to sell it at $6K despite almost $12K into it.
Have decided I do not need four trucks, I want to put the funds into the El Camino.
