My doomed 408 build

I honestly don't think $169 for a mechanical camwas to over priced.
My thoughts are buy from some placethat offers a flat cam guaranty. I priced many diffrent combos on jegs, summit, mancini, e bay, they all came to a grand. My cam is wiped several lifters are damaged. I have to do a full valve train rebuild. I rather buy once cry once with some sort of guaranty. I have taken a massive beating with this car starting with how much I bought it for. I need some sort of warranty for something.

I agree with the warranty and all that but those warranties have one s*** ton of loopholes. I'll show you my invoice I paid $79 to have my cam reground for the second time because I wanted a different profile and$4 each to resurface my lifters. Again for the third time the same cam on its third profile is doing absolutely great! One thing I've learned in life there's no guarantees! again the suggestions I'm suggesting are 100% free even now in the after thought. Again my frustrations are for you not against you.
I got to leave right now and go help the customer install his crate motor in his 66 Nova. Unfortunately all his warranties for his crate motor need a Certified mechanic to check the checklist off for his warranty to not be invalid. Lupo's Lupo's Lupo's in more hope she has to jump through and pay for to make sure that warranty is good...
mind you I'm not a Certified mechanic so I can't help him there but I can't help him get it in and get it in safely. Now my son is a Certified mechanic but he was born long after cars stopped having carburetors LOL he wouldn't know the first thing! But he is certified...
