Clifford is way overpriced. If you want a 270* cam, go with a Crane blueracer or something like that. I have a blueracer that sould be in today, when I get it in the motor, I'll tell ya how I like it.

Ya Eddie had one, and I have it now..... Clifford is a little pricey, have a look at a Crane PowerMax H-260-2 if you want something a bit cheaper, but, honestly, as much as I hate Clifford, another 270H from them may be the best bet....

Well, Dan, did you ever get your project front axle done?

And if you're buying up another cam, why not go nasty-nasty (280-290) with Rhoads lifters?

I wouldn't mind a bit, Evan. Thad's whole deal on those lifters was that he wanted to see them used--and Dan "Mudinford" is a good guy; he's the gent from whom I bought the TTB that's now in my truck.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 29-Aug-01 AT 01:01 AM (EST)[/font][p]Well well well....Thanks for all the help! I have to stick with the cilfford B/C just sent in the cam card last week to them to get my head set up do to the fact that I thought i had a good cam. BUT i can call and see (and am willing to bet) that he hasn't even touched it yet, i might just go ahead and get that 280-90 cam. Would like to see how it would do. Plus the Rhods lifters is a thought i would love to try. Give me a ball park on what you would want Evan...mud-n-ford86(No Email Addresses In Posts!)...And would that make me have to lash the valves now? I just got the engine back yesterday...looks good... bored .040"...so cant wait to get it in. THEN and only then i can think i can get the kit going. I got my Fabritech kit in the other week and am chomping at the bit to get it started. MAN this thing is built tough...but i will keep a post on how it goes when i get it going....anyway...thanks again for the help!

Also.....a Tax ID at my use (as Martha would say) "Its a good thing"....

Dan, D-u-u-u-u-d-e!

Have you and Evan gotten together on those lifters?

A 290 w/Rhoads...Wow!

I'm going to do a custom RV-grind hydraulic roller, m'self (he hangs head, shuffles feet)
