455 TA Tomahawk block

If you mean some of the blocks have stock cam bearings and why, well here is the answer. Some guys are not building for all out performance and don't need 1" lift, so they can retain their stock diameter cams and cranks and save some dollars.

 

Makes sense to me.

I was going with the factory cam size until Mike called me with the offer and explained the benefits.

 

Michael
I hadn't planned on running a cam bigger than .650" but went with the ford cam journal just in case:TU:
Cheers

 

Not asking for the real number but is that ".650" the advertised or at .050 lifter lift?

 

I thought we were getting somewhere.

 

Have been waiting since July and thanks to Jim Weise it may happen soon if there are no more supprises on my end.

 

Thats at the valve with a 1.6:1 rocker.
Everything going ok Michael?
Cheers

 

Getting that Kolhar engine together for a neighbor. Had to order some parts for that too.

Been told that it is going to be done Monday (11-18-13).

I'm trying to get some other projects done so I can get on the Buick engine when it does get here.

 

Final payment sent today.

 

Nice Christmas present to yourself. Post up a picture of your grin when it arrives. :kodak:

 

I am just looking forward to driving at ease and not having "that butt pucker" everytime the engine goes over 6000 RPMs.

 

:gp:

 

Christmas came a little earily this year as I went and picked up the Tomahawk block at the freight depot.

I can sleep better knowing it is here.

Big thanks to TA Performance for puting up with me and answering my questions.

Will start a thread in the tomahawk section with pictures

 

:grin:Hooray !!:TU:
