Pat the Gashole said because the cam lobe shows such minimal damage I could just polish it up, buy one new roller and put the engine back together.
Just poking fun at Pat, it's a JOKE.
See, the cam lobe aint "that bad".
3.31 rear gear 26.5" tire and heres the kicker, CLOSE ratio top loader which means that FIRST gear in the trans is WAY higher ratio than the WIDE ratio trans. 1st gear is good to 65 mph. I STILL run the 1/4 in the high 11's. I have considered going to a lower rear gear..........
NOW, about the block. The side oiler block of mine IS the ribbed block, (ribbed for more pleasure or higher rpm or something) meaning it's 66 or later and IS drilled for hydraulic lifters. Now I'm seriously considering a roller hydro cam.
