L100 cam
Is there somewhere around the northern Indiana area that anyone knows of that will grind or have a L100 camshaft?

Re: L100 cam

Re: L100 cam
I was probably one of the persons that introduced the cam to the Barn, During the late 80;s & 90's I installed them in most of my builds. The main reason was the "SOUND", and properly tuned it preformed quit well. Unfortunately, many people don't have the knowledge or equipment to properly tune a Flathead. The can has 245 degrees of intake duration, which means that a 9:1 compression engine has only 6:1 at low and medium RPM Thes ran poorly at best in a small displacement endgame, especially in a heavy car.Originaly the cam from my shop cost 125$ lifters 45$ 16 1.5 Chevy valves 50$ Today you can't do that Ina 280/300 ci inch engine, it works just fine However in a "STREET" engine a Max 1 would provide more torque and you don't need all the other stuff. When making a modification to any engine. The application is the important issue/ Esticits adds no power are economy to any engine. The Barn should help newcomers make good decisions.

Re: L100 cam
Tony was in NZ on vacation, but he is definitely your man to grind an L100 cam.

Re: L100 cam
The 400jr is a great cam for racing, it was my go to cam untill the D410 came out. For a street engine the L-100 has a kinder profile and can be run with less valve spring pressure 55/60 and still turn 5k. Price here isn't an issue as both are alittle expensive. Too bad JWL's dyno isn't in operation we could test allot of OLD cams. I just found a Howards M-8 in my stash (NEW) interesting lobe. They were popular back in the 50;s/60's

Re: L100 cam
H&H will grind a L100 but by the time I get a core to them and all that shipping crap not worth it. I tryed to get a hold of BoB but was unsuccessful. And they see where he has sold the cam. I’ll find one or find something to grind one. I have lots of cores
