[Found!] Cam Thrust plate

[MassDart]

Looking for a cam thrust plate (and bolts) for my 360 magnum project if anyone has one hanging around. Drip tab too if available.

Thanks,

Doug

Use the tensioner! (Cloyes, etc. sell them)

I was on the fence about using a tensioner. I've seen some say that its not worth doing and that the tensioner ramps wear out etc. I'll check out the Cloyes unit.

I use them in everything, including my 11 second street Demon's 416, a bracket 367 and all my Magnum-powered trucks and Durango. Never seen an excessively worn thrust block and the timing stays steady instead of flopping around after a very few miles, even with a double roller set. The long distance between the cam/crank centerlines make a tensioner essential to prevent chain whip! Just my .02c!
