Thread: Best price on A Howards cam ?

Tweet

Found a cam profile that will work for the '66 for street /strip. So where's the best deal ? Ebay is $150 for cam & lifters and $350 for the whole kit with springs , valve seals etc. Any suggestions ?
Thanks !

Nick

Ask Pat and/or Jerry for a quote, they'll see this eventually.

And remember, you get what you pay for. If it seems like a deal that's to good to be true, it just may be!

yep i did see it there was a time i was a dealer for them still get some break . better to look at competition products . there will not be any smoking deal i would think eveyone is lock step on price .throw the part number up see what i can do

Thanks Pat ! Much appreciated ! I don't mind spending more if there is a better brand to go with but I want to stay with a US product if possible. I won't be beating the crap out of it much so roller cam conversion etc. is out :-)

i can help you out with a Erson cam get them as i am a deal cam cores are usa parts but i will check in to the howards . roller cam is nothing to do with the use but more about trouble free use of engine . getting a flat lifter cam to break in and many oils that do got have zinc in them the bbc have a history of eatting cams . but long as you know that is must fire right up use a break in oil with cam you may get lucky

i have to call in for price in the Howards and Ersons Cam but here is this in Erson E 120008
IN @050 .214 lift 501 EX @050.224 lift 522 lc 112 ...your looking for cam lifters . valve springs ? retainers .locks .chain set . valve seals ? stock . or pc seals if so what size was the heads cut for .500 or .531. what valve stem size stock 3/8 or 11/32s what year heads do you have .what year.do they have rotators on heads? i can build you a kit just need more info

Thanks , Pat , and happy New year ! the heads are '68 427 closed chambers with a stamping of 3919840 - unshaved . The block is a '76 2 bolt in nice shape and I am pretty sure my valve stems are 3/8. I know the roller retro-fit set up would be much better but I don't have the resources ( $ ) for it :-)

Found them online - fantastic ! going to order the kit and also Penn breakin oil, oil pump and a few other goodies , all for less than I was going to pay for the original kit ! I will use whatever it takes to make the breakin smooth ! Thanks again !
