    custom grind for 461

     



    after much searching I have found the cam I want is discontinued. My choices now seem to be a stock vintage cam (boo) or get a custom grind that sounds stock and hope I don't get claimed. What company has someone (probably oval track guys) dealt with that knows their way around a vacuum rule. any help would be appreciated at this point. thanks Clinto

    why dont you post the numbers or the cam before you say boo on a stock cam ? nothing going to sound stock less it is bone stock low HP GM cam . Marine cam will work many copys made by many . GM had a L88 that never idle stock most all cam grinders i deal with can grind you a cam just call one Crower. Erson . isky. Howards .COMP . i know two out of the list that can grind any thing for me .if there not back up. there a very good chance that if you look at just Raw numbers on the cam someone is still making a cam very close to what you wanted in the first place

    I tried a bunch of places to fine this cam as I thought it would be a good option, but everywhere I tried they say it is discontinued. Even gm performance parts has discontiunued it, and if they had it they would have wanted 199.00. At this point I think a custom grind is in my future, I just finished emailing comp, crower and Howards. I can't wait to see what they recommend.
