Howards Cams.............

[ndeconte]

Posted this in my rebuild post, thought I'd post it here also...............

We're at a point now of getting the engine back together and what I'm stumbling on right now is Camshaft selection!? After talking to SlantsixDan, I was going to send my camshaft out to Oregon Cam Grinding for their № 2106R regrind. Well, it's a great price to start, but when I figure in Shipping charges from Rhode Island back and forth, I can probably get a brand new one for cheaper!

I found that the Howards Cams 751082-12 is damn close to the regrind listed above, here's a link to it on Jegs (best price I found so far!)......
Howards Cams 751082-12: 1960 - 1987 CHRYSLER 170- | JEGS

I looked around on-line and it seems they have a decent reputation, anyone here ever use their stuff?
Think I may pull the trigger on this one!

She's back on the road this year, I really miss driving her!!!!

After reading all the problems people have with the oil pump drive gear on Slantsix.org, I sent mine to Oregon cams for a regrind. 2500 miles later and so far no problems (knock on wood). Mine is far from a race car so it may not be overstressed. SSD has spoken. Don't forget you need new lifters too.

Send it to me at Crower. Or we will make custom grind one for you. Here is my cam card I just made for my slant six.

What is the average cost of a reground cam ?

What is the average cost of a reground cam ?

Here at Crower for a /6 cam a regrind is only $132.00......Or we can make a custom cam for $188.41. What ever you want. Now on a regrind we can only change them so much, and numbers depend on what we start with. So regrinds have to be cam doctored before I even plan a cam. Hope this helps. Here is is my custom cam.

I think Oregon cams does your old lifters to for a buck a piece. Check with them first as lifters are usually surface hardened and refacing them may remove the very thin hardened material.
