Mopar 284/528 mechanical camshaft

Bob im with you, no matter how old the profile. If it works, then it works, no if ands or buts about it. Mopar knew what they were doing way back when, and that is why the purpleshaft is still popular. If it was not, Mopar would have done away with all the old profiles and developed new ones from scratch like the big cam companies are doing. Thanks again Bob for your input on the Mopar 284/528.

Me too. I am not sure that anyone can do it better than the people who designed the engine in the first place. (The guy who runs Racer Brown is an old friend of mine and he would hate to hear me say that). My 383 was actually built back in the early 70's while still in the hands of the original owner. The guy who built it for him chose that cam and it still runs amazing today. It helps that it was track-only until I bought it and has very few miles on it. When the day comes that I need to pull it I will replace it with the exact same thing. Why mess with a good thing?
