The latest side step in my everlasting l-48 rebuild.
Due to various financial reasons my 383 stroker project keeps changing directions.
Been reading up on SR cams in daily drivers, seems to be two schools of thought; yah and nay.
Arguments ranging from won't last to won't spin, will spin, noisy, setting lash once a year, once every two years, every day.
Also something about a bigger SR cam acting as a smaller HR cam in regards to idle vacuum.
I have a vague understanding of the oiling issues at low rpm's.
Can that be fixed with a lifter bore groove?
Solid roller lifters seems to be a lot cheaper then hydraulic roller lifters, hence the recent sidestep.
I just like the idea of an old school solid roller stroker that won't break my bank.
Thoughts idea's? Go or no-go's? Do's and don'ts?
