3.5 Liter Block Swap

TYPE II cams sent into WEBCAM for a regrind. Due to an error on their part, the regrind actually ended up being a hard weld at no extra cost to me. Good for me.

Webcam worked with me to draw up a mild cam profile for my specific setup, since I didn't want to have the lifters changed over to mechanical.

It ended up working perfectly because the results were fantastic. Check out the before and after cam dyno below in the gallery.
