A tale of 2 cams

Ironmike said

Seems like every cam someone specs for me, it turns out to be "an old ultradyne lobe".
Wonder who TRULY specs a cam for a guy...

I'm thinking about that Voodoo pretty seriously. That and maybe a Milodon gear drive. I can pick up a never used one for practically nothing. Don't like the idea of drilling into my block though. Looks like just 1 hole right on the outside wall of cyl number 1.

Well some progress was made today. Put in new mains and got the bottom all torqued.View attachment 1715277808 View attachment 1715277809

Mike @ Jones Cams uses a proprietory computer program to grind a cam specifically to your needs. He can change ANY thing but you really need to provide accurate info to get the best cam.

I gave him my engine info and his recommendation was pretty mild compared to what all my buddies are running in their dirt cars. I used the PO's cylinder head flow info plus comments from this board, and others, to "guess" on the flow for my ported W-2's. Now I find that an old friend from 30 years ago has a flow bench in his shop so I'm taking a head to him to get it flowed so I have accurate info.

I'll get Mike to grind a cam based on that new info...

BTW... Ultradyne Harold was a genius with cam design and many of his grinds were copied. Howard's has some of his Mopar grinds in their catalog of custom grinds.

RIP Harold.
