Lunati hydraulic roller camshaft

[soonerfan39]

I bought this cam off of Ebay. It is brand new still in the box. The problem is that it won't work for me. I got in to big of a hurry and didn't notice that it was for the 87-present blocks. If anyone is building a newer roller motor this cam would be a steal. 110.00 plus shipping. The cam sells from Lunati for 325.00

Thanks,

Kevin

Just curious what is the specs and also what is the difference in the 87+ blocks?

It will be easier if you will go to this link and look up the part number of the cam for the specs. http://www.lunaticams.com/ I'm not sure what the differences are in the blocks, but there must be something or else they wouldn't list them seperately.

thanks,

Kevin

Crap forgot to give you the part number! 54762 is the cam part number

newer blocks have provisions for factory roller cams, so this one is probably a factory style with a smaller bolt circle on the timing gear, and made for the factory front cam retainer plate, which the older blocks dont have the machining for.

i dont see why it couldnt be used though in an older block if you use the correct timing set and use a thrust button on a good solid(not stamped steel) timing cover like a regular roller cam retrofit.

Wow that's a big cam. Too much for my application. If I had a better set of heads it would work great.
