V8-60 Isky Mushroom Lifters
A set of Isky Mushroom Lifters for the 60hp to use a Isky 620BS Cam.
What would a set of Mushroom cost/worth? Lifter bores are already undercut for them. |

That wasn't a very good performing cam. It only lifts .315. |

Re: V8-60 Isky Mushroom Lifters
620BS was actually for Hydroplanes and dad would spin them 7600+ rpm.
The 620B is more of a Midget Cam, more torque. There was also a 620-03 and 620. The 404jr was the wildest of all the 60 cams. That cam blew up a lot of engines |

Re: V8-60 Isky Mushroom Lifters
Racing requires alot of pieces parts and people. The cam is only one of them.

Re: V8-60 Isky Mushroom Lifters
Ol Ron that is a UNDERSTATEMENT!
Guys think the parts should cost the same or less than big flathead parts. I have been hunting for an Aluminum V860 Cam Gear for 2yrs. I have a STEEL 1 but want an Aluminum 1. |

Re: V8-60 Isky Mushroom Lifters
They are around but very scarce. I just happened to come across one when I bought a 60hp hydroplane engine along with lots of NOS internal engine rebuilding components. Also, amongst those parts was a chain coupler that connects to front of crankshaft that for driving the screw shaft. Scott Courts wanted to buy for his hydroplane project, but we could not agree on a price, so it's still sitting on a shelf collecting dust.

Ford did not make an aluminum cam timing gear for the 60HP, but don't give up since there were a lot of other manufactures of the gears. Contact Fred at Southside obsolete he has shelfs of cam gears.

Re: V8-60 Isky Mushroom Lifters
Ford did make an aluminum timing gear for the V8 60. I have 3 NOS, one, in the box. Please check page 93 of the late great Rich Willams book The V8-60 Fords Little Powerhouse. Ray.
