If the cam and lifters are being reused in the same block, no issue as long as the lifters are kept to the lobes that they are matched to.  When changing blocks, there’s always the chance that the lifter bores do not align the same from block to block which means the cam could still go bad with the original lifters as a new wear spot on the lifter is taking place.  Just food for thought.

 

My recommendation for used camshafts in blocks they were not originally run in is to always use new lifters in those instances.

Paul, my thoughts also, don't make since to do otherwise.

For arguments sake... obviously if you have a good cam without the original lifters, new ones will be needed. However, if you have that same cam with the original lifters, that you are sure have been kept properly in order, why would you break in new lifters on that cam?

Frank, The tranny blew the gasket between the pump and case. I found out it is not uncommon.. Just about have it back together, too bad weather has turned to crap.. doubt I'll get out to the track any time soon.

RB,

         Wrong place for this, but what did you find on the tranny in the Drag Bird after Columbus?

When I talked to the tech at Lunati he told me that the Lunati division had been sold by Holley to someone else prior to them taking bankruptcy.
