This has been fun watching the info come up on this thread and it really does help in the decision process.
Went out to pay a visit to my engine builder and the topic of "cammers" came up, he showed me two older cammer short blocks he has stashed in his parts "shack". I started asking stuff like "how much" for an overhauled blueprinted and balanced bottom end. He told me it was considerably more labor intensive than a standard SO block but he would come up with an estimate for me.
I know this is a much sought after motor but I gotta believe that it would certainly enhance the value of my cobra, (if I can ever get it finished), but you know what they say...................."Hurry up and #%*+ up".
I have no expereince with this engine other than reading everything I have been able to get my hands on and what my builder explained to me. It's by no means overwhelming but it is one serious power plant, Whaddaya you think guys, you can't hit the ball unless you step up to the plate. All input much appreciated.
