if you really want a cam in your car, call delta cams and have them make you one for $45. thats pretty much the easiest way.

You got yours for $45?!?!?
I paid $100 (with lifters) delivered for a mild turbo grind.

I remember the lifters being $40. They didn't make me ruturn a core either, said they waived the charge since I lived so far from them and would cost more to mail it then it was worth (the core).
