47-59 V8 Camshaft Durability

Chevrolet performance shows two flat tappet Hydraulic cams in their catalog.
The second one is the one that comes in their 350 HO crate motors. List on the cam is 193.39 and the 12371044 lifters have a list of 192.52 but a lot of the GM performance dealers have better prices as do Summit or other speed goodie vendors. Or if you have a buddy working the parts counter at a Chevy dealer who will give a buddy deal or a buddy who buys from the dealer who gets a good discount who can pick it up for you.

Side note from back in the day. Back in the early 70's when I worked in the Pontiac dealership in waco Tx we could charge parts from the parts counter and get like a 10% discount. But if we paid cash the parts guys would write the ticket up in the name of a Gypo used car lot down on Franklin Avenue who probably bought 1000 bucks worth of parts in a good year but had a CASH account. The boss probably gave him a bottle of good Bourbon ever Christmas as a thank you for buying a bunch of parts. He got about a 30% discount.
