I think he meant especially Cammotion. Edgar has a CamMotion grind currently I believe.

well I believe if I do like Edgar said and get a solid cam with a tight lash it would work great. With the heads still on the car is there anyway to tell the spring pressure or will I need to remove the heads to find out the spring pressure. Thanks Steven

That's generally true , but assymetrical lobe(s) can give you a different outlook on it. And that becomes a pricey situation.

As far as a pricey situation, how much is your engine worth? To me cam selection is the most important part of any engine. A properly selected cam can and will make a motor run and last. I have checked several top name cams from differnt manufactures, Some of the top name cam grinders will be off up to 30 degrees from one cylinder to the other. ( reckon how much that cylinders controbution would be off ? ) Buy the best cam you can afford, Most cam grinders have two grinds a shelf grind and a race grind, spend the extra money and get the race grind, ( same cam, more percise ground)

IIRC, Steven has a nice Eagle or SCAT crank. The cheap cranks are bad about developing dangerous torsional harmonics in high-revving 347's (which can actually break the crank!), but with nice 4340 parts, it shouldn't be a problem. I have yet to see any gear-drives break things. Have you Edgar?
Would a chain drive be sufficient? Absolutely. In fact, I just bought one for my buildup.
