If the lifters have the EDM hole and are American made, I would take a set. No hurry on the cam here. Just would like to have one around in case.

Rob, I just bought a Comp Cams 3863143 replacement cam for my L78. Specs all look to be identical to the GM cam. Part number is 11-106-3. What do you think? Are these not any good? Thanks Mike

Mike, there is nothing wrong with this cam. I have the same one in my 70 L78 Nova and the motor has been together since 1999 and it runs strong. I have had no issues at all. Very good camshaft!!

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

im in for atleast one.

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

Here's the latest on the '143' cam...Jim Lerum has done 99% of the legwork here, so a big THANKS needs to go out to him...and since we've had a better than expected response, we got a little help on the price...here's the scoop:

<u>Cam:</u>
$150 + $15 s&amp;h

Cam will be an Engine Power cam core, which is Made in the USA and supplies cores to all of the big companies, and then Bullet Cams will CNC grind it to exact specs, which not even the original GM/Crane piece can claim.


<u>Lifters: </u>
standard solid lifters, $70 + $3 s&amp;h
EDM solid lifters, $165 + $3 s&amp;H

Lifters are Johnson lifters, which have been around forever, and are also Made in the USA. Again, for EDM lifters, PM me for price

We hope to start shipping these in around 10 days, and will get them out to the priority guys first...again, if you need a cam/lifters ASAP, please drop me a PM and check the list @ the beginning of the thread as I'll make a notation beside your name.

Fantastic job Rob and Jim. Give me a day to talk to the man. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

Hey, isn't Bullet Cams the remnants of the old Ultradyne Cam company? Ultradyne really had their act together and were responsible for some fast running motors! I used to have a little '64 Chevy II with a ZZ4 350 GM crate engine, where the stock hydraulic roller was junked and replaced with an Ultradyne solid roller (.560-.600 lift) and that little car would run 11.70's. Anyway, this sounds like a good deal for everyone and considering the quality (or lack of) of today's oils, the EDM option may be agood idea. I used EDM'ed lifters during my last solid cam build and have had no flat cam issues. Knock on wood!

Kudos to Rob and Jim for all their work to make this happen.

Just another Great Benefit of membership here at the sYc! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

Rob...I sent you a PM. I would like the EDMs. Shoot me a price when ya get a chance. I will PP the dough.

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

Thanks a ton guys! Payment sent. This will make my rebuild (when I get there) much easier.

Just of note, after I clicked on the Paypal link, I did not notice a section for "comments" as is often seen on a Paypal payment. It just asks you to enter a dollar amount. Maybe I'm just overtired/worked at the moment and missed a link/button for it, but I don't think I missed it. I guess it's simple enough to figure out what someone ordered based on the amount paid.

Nah, I guess that particular button doesn't have that feature...but, I should be able to just pull the info from the PP notification email.

Also, I updated the pricing post above, with the EDM lifter info...our cost is $165 + $3 s&amp;h.

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

What are EDM lifters? Thanks, Phil.

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

EDM lifters have a small micro hole on the face of the lifter. It lubes the lobe with oil as the lifter runs across the face of it. It's been used very successfully to extend the life of camshafts, especially those that run high spring pressure.

Jim

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

I have a question.
is this a one time deal or are they going to continue to make these?
and who makes the EDM lifters?

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

Rob please add a set of the standard solid lifters with my cam. Paypal sent. Phil

Both the regular solids and the edm lifters are Johnson lifters.

And as of now, I think we're gonna have a cut-off date of around next Wednesday (4/29) on this "group buy"...since there's power in numbers, we're saving somewhere around $40/cam, $20/solids and $30/edm...we'll more than likely be able to get someone a cam or two down the road, but I'd say the price will be quite a bit higher.

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

thanks Rob and Jim.I appreciate you guys stepping up to the plate with bullet Cams and gettin er done.chris

Rob, Paypal and pm sent. I BIG Thank You to yourself, Jim Lerum, and board members for making it happen!! Tony

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

Rob,

I would like a cam &amp; lifter set. I will send by mail to the club address a check for $165 &amp; $73 combined.

Thanks, Warren

Re: L78/L71/L72/LS6 143 "blueprint" camshaft interest?
 

If that is what it takes to make Chevrolet's continue to rule than I wouldn't imagine doing it any differently.

For those of you that think this is bad timing and are in an economic freeze, we can revisit it in 6 months or a year and see if we can set up another group deal. I would like nothing better than to think we have some future business down the road that will accommodate people in need.

Jim

Thanks guys! It's intended to do as the license plate from long ago said *****USA-1*****. In a nut shell, it will keep our cars running super strong on American made products built by our fellow country men. I feel you have invested in quality pieces that are very reputable. From cam cores to the Johnson lifters, it's good stuff.

When you get your product in the mail in 10 days or so, please open the packages and inspect what you have. I just received one of the soon to be few remaining L-88 crane camshaft that was bought for a fellow Canadian and it was broke in 1/2 from poor shipping and handling practices. I truely want this to be good for everyone!
