    That is so cool! I spoke with Mike about 15 years ago about machining the front 455 roller cam bits off and using 350 Buick pieces, distributor gear etc would be out of 350 cast iron so the roller cams steel gear did not have to be pampered with a brass distributor gear etc. It was a three peice configuration though with the smaller and larger 350 gears. We thought of a Chevy configuration but a Ford would be even better with the Ford size cam journals around 54 - 55 mm. Someone would cut and grind a Ford blank I would think. 'Course I would have thought someone would have made a Buick blank by now also. With this news I'm happier than a puppy with two peters, I might get to hear the tomahawk fire before I expire.
