In the middle of rebuilding the black cars engine,
keep in mind that this is a daily driver not a trailer queen.
So do I convert to the hydaulic cam and lifters?
I have already gotten Jakes opinion but would like some input from someone who has used a hydaulic cam for a driver.
I will reveal Jakes opinion after a day or so.
I'm inclined to just go Jakes direction just cause he is from my Mamas home state!
Headed for a bike ride to keep this fat ass in shape, back in a while.

Had hyd's in my Type 1 (bug) motor. It was a 1776 running dual Kadrons. I blew off my share of detroit iron from 1st, 2nd & sometimes even 3rd gear - for four years, over 30k miles without a problem. Just be religious about oil changes. They were a little wierd at times though. When the engine was REALLY HOT, think summer in o.c. ca. - I did notice a loss of power. So I added an electric fan to the remote cooler and stand-offs to the engine lid. Oil temp went down about 15-20 deg. When I sold the car, to buy my teener, the guy I sold it to said it was the quickest bug he had ever driven. If he had driven it 30k miles before that - it was even faster. Rimco did all of the machine work. Awesome folks. I certainly don't have Jake's experience, so if Jake say's don't do it - maybe I just got lucky...
Good Luck, Gary (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
