Jan, are you spinning the engine backwards like I am?  Obviously reverse
rotation cams don't help a normal motor.  Isky does currently stock normal
rotation cams for the 3.5 in about 4 obsolete grinds, mostly on 110 centers.
I had them do a custom grind for me but it was too peaky and the horsepower
peak wasn't that good either so I advise conservative grinds for better
torque.  I'd check out RPI in UK for street cams for Rover trucks. Try
www.rpiv8.com. It's good reading all over their site.

I shopped for a 4.6 block for 3 years before I found a shop with just a
block.  They had dropped a nut down the intake and trashed one cyl liner.  I
paid just under a grand for the block with one hole resleeved and main caps.
No crank, no top end, nothing else.  I still need a windage tray for it and
don't want to pay dealer prices.  Any suggestions? ric.
