HP500 cam question
 

Yes I'm new here. I have a 502 HP500 carbed, possibly a 95 (motor was not factory installed according to velocity). I want to upgrade the cam for some more power and a meaner sound, I tried emailing teague but he never returned the email. I was also wondering how much of a difference swapping in some 1.8's for the 1.7's makes and what is a good brand? Pros cons if any? Thanks in advance.

CALL BOB MARADA (AKA RMBUILDER) 585-654-8583

I just placed my order with Bob yesterday for a custom grind cam. He is the cam guru. I will let everyone know the results in a few weeks. Good luck with your project!!

Thanx rssteiny. How are his prices jeffswav?

No more than a good off the shelf cam. He will taylor the cam to your setup. No one on any tech line knows half what he does.

Good to hear. I'll give him a call. Updates to come...... if I can figure out how to swap cams without pulling the %$#%$ motor

Swap
 

Its easy, just drill a 2" hole all the way through your back seat!!! :evilb:

Ha ha! the back seat comes out, its the firewall thats inches from my water pump thats the issue. :) that I could drill a hole in, but getting the water circ pump and all that jazz off is the fun part.

I got mine out sort of that way. I have a storage locker right in front of the cam. I drilled a hole into the locker and retrieved it through the hatch in the floor. :ernaehrung004:

You should pull the motor to change the cam unless you have lots of room in front. It is very important to degree a cam in properly, particularly in a marine (wet exhaust) evironment. This would be hard to do through a 2" hole. FWIW

Chicken!


Just Kidding, seriously, pull the motor, you'll be glad you did when you need to get all the bloody timing cover bolts out and you keep dropping them in the bilge!
