Haven't looked in on the Vette build in over a month, so I was shocked to get to the last page and see an empty engine bay!! Had to go back a couple pages and catch up on all the excitement! All I can say is WOW! That breaks my heart, even if it's your problem, and not mine. I know how these things can go bad, or really bad, and this sure went pretty bad. At least it's rebuildable, and not a bunch of parts hanging out of the block.

You people are lucky when it comes to buying cams from Comp, FREE SHIPPING.
When Comp ship overseas they charge an arm and a leg, the cheapest way to get a Comp gear international is to go through Summit.
The last two hydraulic Comp cams I have purchased I added nitrating to the cam. Getting that done it becomes a custom grind. It can take a few goes to get an on the ball sales person at Summit who knows how to tick the right boxes...Tim

I admire you guys that are willing to build or try to build your engines . I'm a coward . I've paid a shop to build the one engine I've souped up ( mild 300 hp build ) and over all turned out well enough that if another engine is needed I'll probably do the same or buy a crate motor from gm or blueprint . Again, that's off and hoping it turns out great this time .Previously HoosierL98GTA
