Camshafts... What is your desire??

Postby oldeskewltoy » Thu Mar 21, 2013 12:13 pm

As many of you know I've been working on clearing space @ a local race shop.

Well, they have BOXES of old camshafts... there are picking through the lot to see which ones are either repairable, OR grind-able to new dimensions......


And here is where you come in... What is wanted?

Would you prefer repaired 288+ duration 9.5+mm lift cams??

OR...

Would you prefer these cams be ground to 272 or less durations, with lifts under 9mm???

expected price on these should be under $500 for a pair

So what say you?????

272/9.0mm sounds good to me, 288's are a little too spicy. I need something to wake up my motor, I have Comp valve springs with a really high lift capacity.

264's 8.5mm lift or w/e you can run with stock buckets would probably be a better seller. especially in the low $400s. kinda like a discount poncam. I would be up for a set in that price range.

Regrettably these cams are for the wrong motor, otherwise I'd say gimme some 288s with 10mm lift! :mrgreen:

1UZ-FE. I haven't even gotten the base engine running yet (lack of funds), so I'm sure 288s or the like would be a bit much for just getting to know my new setup :lol:

Plus going SUB on the 1UZ is not a cheap option like it is for the 4AGE. Lots of parts cross referencing and mixing and matching to make it all work.
