Do you have those original cams in your possession?

If so, you could probably have them reground on essentially the same base circle a little bit MILDER and have something useful for a wild street turbo app.

Here is a tool I've been making today for drilling the middle four cam bearing bosses. Apologies for the crappy cell pics.





Here's what it's supposed to look like when finished:



Looks more complicated than it actually is, I've only spent about 20 minutes on it so far. First I turned down some aluminum stock to camshaft size, put it on the mill and cut an orientation flat, then milled down another flat to the centerline. I then squared another little bit of scrap. Tomorrow, it's going to have an angled flat milled into it, and drilled for .25" cap screws to hold it to the cam bushing. Once the cam bushing is drilled and tapped, they will be assembled, and the nub for handling the cam bush will be cut off and the assembly milled flat on both sides. The assembly will go back into the mill, and the angled hole will be drilled in, then lined with a steel bushing. The whole unit will then simply bolt in place of the camshaft bearing cap.

Elapsed time...Hopefully not more than 1hr.

Ummm.......I think this project is starting to get to you Nate. That cluster**** you got there is gonna be a ***** to build, and I'd love to know where some of those pipes are going.

Tube 1:

And from the jumbled mess...

LOL...Scott, you were pretty much right. I would show you guys the rest of the "trimmed" header if it didn't look like crap, and if it wasn't wrong.

So here's something positive:


Almost done. Hopefully I'll be bored at work again tomorrow.

I found the guy who bought Toddster's DOHC head, that had cams with it. VERY cool guy, said he didn't have a problem with me using his cams to reproduce a set for myself. He also needs a front cover though, I was hoping that I can find one so I can get dim's to make one for myself. With any luck I could have a set of cams made. I think between the two of us we should be able to figure out solutions to our common problems. If nothing else, I've met another friend along way.

Also going to be ordering some mild steel tube sometime this week and start building a prototype header.



The guy I bought the head from might have a custom made timing cover still. If not, I know he sold several other DOHC items to some racers in Puerto Rico. I'll try to get the contact info.
