Re: Cam Replacement

Update on install.
I went with the Edelbrock 2102 Cam and Lifters, could not find the Comp Cam in stock, hate stuff shipped to me. Anyway, cam and lifters went in no porblem, got to roller rockers, had too much torque on the TQ wrench, snapped a stud. Now I have to pull the heads. Problem, headers are welded to the collector due to me trying to eliminate exhaust leaks, and I need to pull the headers to get to the head bolts. So my $150 simple cam change has grown into a decision, do I keep messing with this 283 or say the heck with it and put my energy into the 350 block I have on the stand?
The 283 was to use for taking stuff to the dump as we redo our kitchen, did not want that stress on the 350.
decisions decisions!
