engine missing solution

Post  FORDIN on April 28th 2011, 9:36 am

hey i just wanted to say thanks to everyone that replied to dougs (ThndrChkn) post about my engine mystery. After changing everything from valve springs to fuel system to ignition to carbs..... i changed the cam. i just threw my old 280 comp in it. kinda small for a 521 but lots o low end. anyway i thank you all and frank your cam idea was right on. weird how an engine can have a 500 rpm dead zone from a cam. but thanks for all your help everyone.

Cool deal Brad. I'm glad you (we) got it figured out. Yeah, thanks Frank. Who'da thunk it? scratch

that problem drove me half nuts trying to figure out ! and it even took more convincing for crane cams to redesign the cam ,they did and problem solved !!
