1963-360HP cam and lifters

[Jerry C.]

Have used CS 113 cam in the past but now out of production. What solid lifter cam should I use and where would I buy it and lifters. This will be a judged car so should sound like factory cam. Thanks in advance

Re: 1963-360HP cam and lifters

For decades I have recommend the LT-1 cam to replace both the Duntov and 30-30 cam when rebuilding mechanical lifter 327s, and examples of both have received Duntov awards. The Sealed Power/Speed Pro number for the LT-1 cam is CS-1145R. If it's not longer available, contact Crane Cams.

I have owned both the 097 340HP/360HP, the 30-30 and the LT-1.

The 097 is the best choice as the 30-30 and LT-1 both suck! In my humble opinion anyway! No matter what Duke says!

Well there you have it. 30-30 and LT-1 engines both suck.

Jegs appears to have at least one CS 113R in stock

Jerry, An exact duplicate of the '097 is this:
Elgin Industries E-900-P

Make sure you do not get the E-910-P though as its the 30-30 cam.

Both cams are dead nuts friends.
Perfect for PV and Operations, etc.
Now make sure on the '097 cam Jerry you set the valve lash on the loose side according to Don Baker etal.
12-18 minimum. Especially on the fuel injection cars. John D

P.S. Its sad that Federal Mogul discontinued the CS113R. I must have sold many 100's if those cams for them. Plus all of you using it, etc.
