Hi Crew,
As we slowly progress on the world's longest engine rebuild I need to send some lifters to Delta for refurbishing. I have a camshaft with a damaged lobe (chipped) that they can repair and regrind to their 400M spec based on the Chrysler marine camshaft. If I'm going to ship some stuff their way why not ship 2 boxes .

What I want to know is if any of you guys are running or have run a 400M camshaft.

The current motor is governed to 3000 RPM and it's unlikely that I'll turn that up too much. It would be nice to have a bit more power at the top of the rev range since cruising range is 2800-3000. It would also help out to fill in the hole in the 3-4 shift. When I rev out the engine in 3rd and shift to 4th I fall of the cam and the engine lugs a bit. This gets you when climbing a hill.

So who has run a 400M????

Hi Andy!
I do not, but it sounds like you're in deep on that one. Is your shop class helping you, or Hilde and Henry?
Keep us posted, thanks!

Fearsome words "Daddy, I want to help!".

Surpassed by "Daddy, watch this!"

Gary,
Hopefully we'll get this thing together some time early next year. I've gathered most of the parts and most of the machining is done. We need and we need to do the valves/seats, it's just time!!!

Hope you guys are doing well. Any trips planned to this neck of the woods?

Andy

Thanks Andy,
No trips on the horizon yet-we'll see what next Spring brings. All is well over here!
