is it hard to install a cam shaft.

How high do you want to spin it? I say go roller hydro, that is what I am using. Solids you have to adjust ever 1000 miles or so.

No, its easy to install a cam. Anything is easy if you have done enough times

If its a custom, you should be good to go.

[Pimpdady753]

your saying the Hydraulic one that is 275

[Pimpdady753]

[Pimpdady753]

me to, what is the diference on Hydraulic and roller cam shaft.

[GTStang]

Ugh I can't believe I'm in here..... anyway....

Camshafts for Dummies:

Roller or Flat means what kinda lifters is it using, roller lifters or flat lifters. Flat lifters are just that flat metal bottoms against the cam lobes, rollers are again just that rollers along the cam lobes.

Hydrualic or Solid: Both Flat or Roller cams(lifters) can come in both of these forms. Hydrualic lifters use engine oil to in the simplest description of terms act as a shock absorber. Solid lifters wether roller or flat are just a solid roller with no hydraulics to dampen the valvetrain.

Notes:

Cams and lifters must match: Solid roller cam wit solid roller lifters. Flat hydraulic cam wit flat hydraulic lifters, etc..,

Blocks must match Cam: Block must come set-up from the factory for roller camshaft. If not your, options are to machine it for a roller camshaft set-up or use a retrofit set-up if available.

Applications: If someone else wants to even begin to open that can of worms go ahead.

He doesn't need a solid, it just starts to get beneficial at that point. A comp 282HR will hold onto power to about 7 grand at which point it will start to float the valves,

pimpdaddy: Maybe think about like a stock 302 with some flows and a CAI. Judging from the fact that all you want this car to do is "beat up ricers on the street" and considering you've never had a fast car before and sound quite immature, all you're going to do with a 1000 horsepower blown car is hurt/kill yourself or someone else. To give you an idea of just how much power 1000 HP is, imagine how long it takes for your 5.0 to get to 130 MPH. A 1000 HP fox will spin street tires like you're driving on ice to 130 MPH.

On my 69 block, I am running a set of Isky linked bar roller lifters, new they run $600 and that is at good price.

Since he is getting a package deal, the guys setting his engine up should know.

Agreed, just telling him his options

That's not so bad, the Shubeck Roller-X's in a buddies turbo motor just set him back, get this, a grand. They eliminate any bearings inside the lifter and have it ride on a cushion of oil. They're supposed to be the best and eliminate lifter failure, so I sure hope so!
