I have flogged a number of stock 400 cranks at the drag strip and never had a problem. I do know of people running stock 400 cranks in road race applications and having breakage issues.I can't imagine the Scat crank ever having a problem.smokie wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 7:21 am It's got a scat "cast steel" crank it and I'm not sure what kind of rpm it can tolerate. I never minded turning a 327 or 350 up but the longer strokes kinda make me nervous. Also, I've never done it with a hydraulic cam, I've always ran solid flat tappet cams, this is my first hydraulic roller and I'm not sure how to control the valve train with bricks for lifters.

"Quality" is like buying oats. You can pay a fair price for it and get some good quality oats,
or you can get it a hell of a lot cheaper, when it's already been through the horse.

Did they move production out of Mexico, or just assembly ?EDC wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:29 pmRoxboro, North Carolina is now in Mexico?

Re: Cam gurus, I need advice
But would they be ok with your cam you recommended?

Re: Cam gurus, I need advice
Is there a way to tell which type the lifters are? I do know that they can't be taken apart. The lug that holds the link bar is in the way and won't let the pushrod plunger come out.
Re: Cam gurus, I need advice
I'm aware that the street roller has a .700" diameter wheel.
The next step up has a .750".
Morel lists that as does Lunati.

Re: Cam gurus, I need advice
That part pisses me off to no end.
I've got an entirely serviceable set of COMP short travel lifters with steel bodies that I can't personally rebuild.
And COMP is no help.

Re: Cam gurus, I need advice
The roller wheels are like a factory roller lifter, so I'm pretty sure that's going to be a .700" wheel diameter. I never even knew that they're was different sizes. I guess it's pretty obvious this is the first time I've ever fooled with a roller cam that wasn't a factory set up. I gotta say, I'm pretty aggravated with myself for not checking on this shit when I started this build. I'm about to say the hell with it and go back to a solid flat tappet or a solid roller. If I got to spend big bucks for lifters, I might as well make more power in the process. A solid flat tappet is looking better and better.

Re: Cam gurus, I need advice
Ya, I'd love to find a way to remove the rivet and replace it with some kind of bolt and button like Isky solids with the removable tie bar. Dan

I'll have to check out that Isky arrangement.6.50camaro wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 6:27 pmYa, I'd love to find a way to remove the rivet and replace it with some kind of bolt and button like Isky solids with the removable tie bar. Dan
Maybe using their hardware, an option might exist.
That said, I'll be buying new just the same. One link bar failure on a set of seasoned lifters is enough to ruin your day.

Re: Cam gurus, I need advice
Its a big block lifter with a captured tie bar but 376RHM937 if you take a look at the allen head screw and the button you'll get the idea of what I mean.
