(I have a couple of nice originals) [/ QUOTE ] Don't you need to keep used cams together with their lifters and keep everything matched up? Can you break in a new set of solid lifters together with a used cam? |

From what I understand, using an old camshaft is fine as long as the original lifters are used in their previous positions. Mis-matching the lifters will wipe out the camshaft lobes very quickly.

That is probably one of Chevy's finest, well thought out camshafts, hence the wait to get one. Crane even uses the 143 Grind #
