Technical Where are you buying your flathead cam from?

I’m looking to get a 1007b but my core is too worn for a regrind. Is reds the only one to buy new?

Too bad. In the last couple of years since I purchased my flathead and while looking for parts I don’t think I have ever seen just a cam for sale on our version here (kijiji) of Craigs List. Seen plenty of engines and cranks. I had Pete regrind mine to a 1007B. Good luck.

 

Pete does great work.
Did a regrind for my 8BA,,,,,looks awesome,,,,,good price as well,,,,quick turnaround .
He’s here and on the Barn .
He might even have some old cores to use for your engine,,,,,it would be worth a check .

DELTA CAMS!!!! Tacoma, Wash. Lots of guys use Delta cams, so do I.

They ground me a 406 solid cam from a raw new Ford casting;
I also sent them an old Navarro cam, the main journals were worn too far to spray them...So, they went into their stock of new old stock flathead cams, and ground me a Winfield SU-1R. Adjustable tappets are also available, but I had a new set of Johnsons.
Delta cams are (were) the favorites of Patrick's Speed Shop, also.

 

Pete can do it for you he should have some cam cores as well.

 

Reds lists them for $385
What other profiles does @KiWinUS have other than L100. Tony is a great guy to deal with.

 

Might give Delta Cams a call too.

 

I had @Pete1 do mine and he did a great job. Email him at [email protected]

ISKY

 

I had Shadbolt Cams in Vancouver BC do mine. Reground a 8BA cam and it cost me around $210 CDN.

 

Schneider Cams (619) 297-0227 . Jerry Cantrell is the man all cams are custom ground for you application, unless you just have to have a catalogue

 

Checked and no cores. Placed my order for a new one from reds. Got plenty to keep me occupied in the meantime.


Thanks for all the replies.

 

Nothing wrong with new,,,,,,Reds has good stuff .
The pic of your block looks really good .

Of course after I posted this, today I see an ad for a cam for CAN$20. Lol!

Just got my 1007b delivered today. Should have the rest of my parts in by end of week to start the build up. I think I’ll be in the engine around 5k. Things add up fast lol

Sounds about right. Machine shop costs for me were CAN$2,4K for a short block and I supplied all the parts. I haven’t checked my parts spreadsheet in a while, but I think parts were about CAN$2.5K for a stk rebuild (no fancy alum heads, intakes, or new carbs - this is where costs skyrocket).
In case you aren’t aware, I’ll just mention that I went with a regrind of my original cam because I had read several threads/posts about some serious quality issues of the new Isky cams.

 

As someone who's about to put a brand new Isky 400jr to use thats not what I wanted to hear but thanks for the heads up. I guess its better to see trouble coming haha

 

Yeh. Can’t recall the specifics, but I do remember at least for the 1007B there were some issues not sure about yours. I also went with the orig USA made Johnson adjustable lifters vs off shore stuff because of issues guys were having with insufficent hardness and consequently rapid wear/damage.

 

I’ll make a prayer to the hot rod gods before install.

 

A few years back Delta cams was having problems. a few of us used Oregon Cam Grinding with execellent results...
