    i'd be interested if these will fit on a buick350
    also curious if the honda rods will also be an option to stroke this like how it is with the 350.

    There's some final pattern changes being made at the moment based off of what we've done with the prototype heads.

    Keep us informed on any updates as they happen. Does the roller cam seem feasible? Is it hyd. or solid? Just bought a '67 340 engine and hope to incorporate as many of these parts as my wallet will allow.

    We'll make roller cams for the Rovers that will be either hydraulic or solid at some point, I just cant five a time as to when as we're busy just trying to get more cam cores that we already offer made.

    those heads and a good cam are a big part of my recipe for a potent turbocharged 300 engine. looking at using the rover fuel injection as well.. picture a GN engine but with 8 cylinders. :grin:

    Mike,
    A couple more questions...Will the 350/340 rods interchange? (Looking for forged steel for my 340) Can the GN serpintine belt assy be used on the small block or is there a better (cheaper) way of doing it? Not planning on using the P/S or P/B pumps (using electric power assist).

    the gn serp will work, that i know..

    the honda rods for 340 and 340/350 rods interchange are still unanswered v:bla:

    ps, TA products are the tits :grin:

    Since your catalog lists the same part # for reconditiond assys to fit the 215, 300 & 340, these will be a "must have" for my 340 build. Nice look on those shafts!!

    Interestingly-enough, I had (10) roller cam blanks made. NO ONE here was interested. Good news is Rover builders are. 2 cents.

    I wouldn't have been interested in ANY cams untill the "head project". It made me change direction and decide to go with the small block instead. Knowing what has been done with the Grand National engine, the V8 could have some potential with those heads and related parts....:TU:
