we decided on a 218/218 ish camshaft modeled after something he recently cut, not a top end monster but a response and average hp killer

Thats why his stuff always seems to lay down the numbers at the track.

This is impressive. It seems like someone should have started a thread on just this topic.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely made it look a lot easier than the LS9 cam swap on my LY6. Can't wait to see the progress!

Nifty haha. I have always used 5/16 wooden dowels from the home depot to hold my lifters up, I have always done a cam swap inside a vehicle though. Nice video!

Great vid and your always funny as a ****! Don't want to sound like a nay sayer, but wasn't the 36 min cam install what was the issue on the last Fairmount? I guess really, the cam being ground incorrectly was the issue, but degreeing it would have caught the issue? I am no one to talk, as I haven't degreed in a cam in over 15 years, just sayin'.
