camshaft question

[Jr. bentpipes]

I had a unfortunate problem with my engine,and I am going to have to replace the cam,was wondering if anybody uses tha 7/4 swap firing order camshaft? I thought I would try something differnt wondering if somebody else has or know anything about them?

The 5/8 swap works even better than the 4/7 swap. Come on.....
There is horsey power to be had doing the 4/7 swap.

How much power is to be found on the 4/7 swap Smalley?
And do you think it will translate into et at the lake?
I am running the 4/7 deal and can tell you that it doesn't make a difference at the Lake. It would nt even make a difference at the track. On the dyno you will see some gains but not enough to notice anything at the Lake.

Ya its like cherry picken.... How about shaft rockers??????

The swipity swapity is worth a few HP. The question isn't should you do it, the question is... What other little tricks that don't cost any/much more when you're ordering up new/custom parts can you employ to grab some extra HP? A little here, a little there, and next thing you know, you CAN feel/see the difference.

ok you v drive freaks -
I have a solid roller in mine - 719 lift - 114 lobes comp custom- the boat is a howard cruiser 468 aluminum headed cheby girdled - bla bla bla - it well built -- question this weekend i developed a miss and clank - - I knew it was valve train related - - I have two questions - I found my problem ( whew ) I lost a rocker retainer ( c clip on pivot ) no damage other than the 39 cent clip - what would cause the side load on the rocker to create this problem ( crane gold rockers ) for more info - I run tripple springs with 350lbs of seat pressure - which leads me to my second question - what type of schuedule are you big cruiser - cammer guy keeping for valve maintence? I know there are bigger mottas out there - and wondering about seat wear ( longevity ? I set my valves up early this year , and since i have built this boat - it has only made it out last aug and this year - ( less than 4 hours of run time . So after this valve adjust - I starting to think of how i use this boat and what type of maintence i should be using - average rpm cruiseing with family - 2500- 4000 - I don't want to run the engine over 7 grand - but it's built for 8000 + It will rarely see that ( very rarely ) so comments and smart butt comments - welcome :eek: :cool:
