Hey Orange, in regards to your cam lamp, are the pushrods welded to the lobes/bearings? Ive been thinking about doing this with my stock cam. Also, let me know how you hooked the bulb fixture and all to the end of the cam. That is sweet man

It is all welded up. that is part of my old T56 insides as the base. I use the lamp kits that you can put in bottles. Has a grommet that stuffs down in the end.

There could be a market for some of this stuff I bet. Who knows how to price them though. There is nothing to compare them with in that category. But I have seen some crappy looking lamps be well over $100 bucks.

Both the head lamp and block table look awesome. What should have been done on the cam lamp is use a stock crank pulley for the base.
