P.A.W. used to carry a few parts for these old engines but thier new catalog leaves a lot to be desired in the non V8 category. I know these engines were used in several types of racing once upon a time so there HAS to be a source somewhere! Help me stovebolters you're my only hope! | | |

I personally used them once and another is Colt Cams in BC Canada,great workmanship.By the way,a good reground cam only costs about 70 bucks. | | |

They offer several high dollar bolt ons including 12 port heads. They also offer several types of cams and valve train set-ups. I ordered the catalog and nearly fell over when I saw the prices. These guys know what they are doing... check out some of there records at the salt flats. | | |

It's got a little rumpy idle and seems to build good power. Also for other hop up parts Langdons has some good stuff for these engines. Happy hunting. | | |

Higher lift and longer duration than the 235 cam, but keeps the torque in the usable RPM range. I put one in my new 235 and it runs quite nicely. No rump in the idle, though.  Oh, and I've never quite known why, but I've always been told not to run a reground cam. I guess one reason would be cost. About $70 for reground, or about $110 for new (what I paid for mine). For that difference I'll go new every time.
