Heavy, as in size and pounds.
Howdy, would this be early stock or aftermarket?
I opened up an old three plug block I have for the next engine for my Toad wagon. Three things struck me as odd.
First was the crank. I don't have another crank handy for direct comparison but this crank looks heavy visually. A pattern maker by trade, I can usually trust my eyes.
Second was the cam, clearly heavy. I do have a few stock and aftermarket cams out and they all measure around 1.030" for the shafts. The one I pulled from this block measures 1.260" at the shaft.
The lift is .234" on evenly worn lobes, suggesting a stock profile. The lobe and heel are .692" and .458" though, larger than what I've seen before but consistant with the shaft size. This cam weighs close to 10 lbs, vs the 7 of my others.
The third seeming anomaly was the fitting of dumbell lifters rather than full solids as I've seen in other stockers. Rebuild, perhaps?
Nothing else appears odd at first glance. The cam bearing sizes are normal, all else seems normal.
I read the corneer stamping but I know little of that info. It's T22 3 22 2, with that spacing.
So, early or odd? What say you?
). The cam'll be after market though, so the lighter one.
