When I was racing, CROWER cams in Chula Vista CA was the sole manufacturer that could grind a cam to make a Ford engine run it's best. Wonder if they're still in business?
The owner of a L3 440 powered Vogue motorhome insisted on using that hunk of garbage for rebuilding instead of using the 440 Magnum engine for pure LPG use. He paid the price. Gutless, overheating and incurable detonation.
Your 460 ought to run like a top!
Yup, crower is still in business.
My engine builder is a Lunati dealer so we used a Lunati RV cam for computer controlled engines.
I'll get my hands slapped for this but Chrysler's "B" block is a boat anchor. Now on the other hand, the "A" block could be made to run.
I purchased a new 1967 Plymouth Barracuda "S" package. IE 383, 4 spd., no power any thing! It would run on the big end but it took for ever to get there. Never could make it perform like the other brands.
Had the privilege of using a couple of MH with 413P and 440P engines. No power and fuel mileage was about 4 MPG. YUCK! LPG in a 440 would be a real anchor.
Thanks Mex for your comments and reading my post.
I'll get day 7 posted some time this evening.
