Hey Mark,
You might want to look at WWW.KAMMotors.com, it's my old man's shop and he has doing the 4 cam engines since I was born! He's one of the factory trained 4 cam engine builders and if I understand right, there isn't that many out there that can build a damn good engine. Jake's right...it's sometimes a bitch to build but once it's build right, it's a BALL to drive her...yes, the rpm range isnt great for street driving but hell, try drive her faster, i bet you'll need more toliet papers if you're not careful with your warp speed driving.... There are three different 4 cam engine types, 547, 692 and 587 with it's own version of improvements indicated such as 547/1 or 692/1 to 692/3A etc. The 587 are the street car version and much easier to drive on the street but still not quite easy to take off on low rpm....wait till you get over to a certain rpm range, bang there she goes flying away! I'd love to drop a 4 cammer in my teen but I just don't have the money to buy such a engine...even in basket case....last time I saw the sale transaction in the '99, a used 692/3A (off of a 904) were in the upper $25K! And it needs to be rebuilt...more moola! Yes, Jake is right about setting the timing up ....the process of setting the timing right can run anywhere 8 to 16 hours alone! It's matter of experience and understand how it's being set up then when you do more than 5 engines, it becomes bearable....I have done at least 2 myself and it was something...but once it's running, BIG SMILES and more wet pants rides!!! j |
