Here's a picture of a 1/4 hemi race cam and a shortened stroker rod and piston.
Enjoy because I didn't at the time.

Nice work. That must have sucked. Hows the block look?

I think the cams a little small for 3/4. Closer to 1/5... ouch.

i was wondering what a 1/4 race cam was. 1/4 left.

Not much lift left on that cam! Might want to have it reground.

The block was not salvaged,#2 cam bearing was broke out of the block.Same with the main bearing.

Sorta like this $ 20,000 chunk of Cat scrap.

what were you doing when it happened

 

[yellowdartdave]

QuikScamp,
If you were asking me about the Cat engine--it was not my fault.
Engine was a 20k mile Cat reman that developed a weird noise that Cat said was normal. 2 days later it was idling on the yard and went bang. Rod ventilated both sides of the block and oil pan as well as taking out the air compressor. A very expensive warranty job.
