L79 hyd. roller cam upgrade
Looking forward to the next project.
Any recommendations on a hydraulic roller to replicate the 151 L79 Camshaft? Most important is the idle quality (sound) and to replicate drivability of the GM 151 cam.
Normally I would opt for a "blue print" flat tappet, but recently I've had two friends that each had TWO (2!!) successive FT cams go flat on the break-in in their respective BB engines.
Dave got lucky with a freebie used cam and lifters that were perfect for his app. and runs great. Chuck is going roller.
I am open to any recommended cam grinder.
TYIA! - Bill W
