Project Cheap & Nasty Updated With Back Story

Good call, I`m all about cheap but I wouldn`t use it either.
That cam would be a good candidate for a weld it up and grind it back down, and see if it caused any runout from the heat, experiment.
Yup. After looking at stock camshaft specs, This one is likely the last version of the solid lifter cam which was .416 lift. I don't think it's worn that much at all. I measured it with a dial caliper, so I'm sure I errored it up. lol At any rate, this is what it's gettin. It may be all done by 4500, but hopefully it'll get there quick. lol
