I have a question in relation to the cam. On the solid roller cam I run in my Drag race 460 I use a bronze gear on the distributor.The life of this gear is about one season then throw it away.
I am concerned with this longevity in a street motor. Do the Hydralic/solid roller cams you are talking about need a bronze gear or can they grind the cams out of the same material as the 5.0 mustang rollers so you can use a oem material gear?
My experience in relation to adjustment on our 460's is after a couple of races at the beginning of the season the valves pretty much stay put. We check them weekly as preventive maintenance but rarely have to adjust them.
I would have no problem running a solid roller on the street its just the dist gear I would be concerned with.
