roller cams

Anyone found a roller cam? I've found roller lifters, but no roller cams.

If you know of one, post the specs you know please.

The cam I currently have is a Delta cam. Its the biggest hydrolic lifter cam they had for computer controlled vehicles (so they said).

Jay, didn't you mention that the lifters have to have a boss in the block? IIRC, the small block chev roller lifters have a bar that connects the two paired lifters. I was hoping to use 4.3 roller lifters in my car but the oil recesses around the lifters is in the wrong spot to get filled by the galley.

Travis, heres that link, forgot to email it to you.

Heres how gm handles the locks for the rollers. I am trying to think up something. If anyone has the part numbers to these little suckers, let me know it. I am going to try and find some in the yard this weekend.

Got a response, it went into my spam mail


229-2412= .412" lift, 197 duration
229-2326=.408" lift, 197 duration

- so it's a toss up!

Bill


I asked for other part numbers which he didnt give me. So if you find more AE-C roller cam part numbers, let me know.
