SB Crane Retrofit Roller Lifter Issue

blufie said

So what cam did you order and from where? I have this same setup in a build I am working on attm. I am not sure if the problem exists or not with mine but will check it tomorrow.

Also, won't changing the base circle possible change your pushrod length and possibly rocker to valve tip alignment? Maybe not an issue if you have adjustables but worht checking.

I ordered a custom ground cam from Brian at:

He was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He has done a lot of work with retrofit roller cams in classic mopar blocks. Cam was at my door in two days but I have not tried it yet because block had to go back to the shop. The cam was over $100 cheaper then the Crane but I have to run a bronze distributor gear where as with the Crane I didn't.

Yes, push rods might have to be longer but I needed to order new ones anyway because its an all new build. I am running Eddie heads with shaft mount rockers so it has no effect on rocker to valve tip because the shaft is in a fixed location.

I returned the Crane cam to Summit and they gave me a full refund.
