tortron Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 whatst eh deal with doing this? can i show up with a stock cam and say - oi make this grumpy for me or do i need to know specs of some sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Just rock in there and say "Dooeet". The limitation will be the material available on the base circle but you should be sweet. EDIT: If you tell them everything else about the motor, what you want to actually achieve and know head flow stats then you will get a better job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 What engine? If its a common one then the grinder will usually know what cam to go with. Go with Snow at Kiwicams in Palmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 dunno if you can go grumpy on a regrind but better fo sho. got a mazda cam reground in palmy (at CSL or something like that..?) and was sweet as. made the 12a go way harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 its for the sidevalve trying to get a guy who has had it done to tell me about it - but poms are queer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 its for the sidevalve Jesus. I bet you wopuld be the first to do that in NZ for 40 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKAZ Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Agreed with UJs statement. Imagine a sidevalve Morrie going rumpity rump rump. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 have an a series i could jam in there - but the sidevavle should be just as good with a few easy steps (exhaust mainly - its a poo design) plus its more weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipsittin Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 dunno if you can go grumpy on a regrind but better fo sho. got a mazda cam reground in palmy (at CSL or something like that..?) and was sweet as.made the 12a go way harder 12a with a lumpy cam that vintage must be worth a lot know Adrian at Franklin Cam Services is a good bugger he has always done my stuff cause he is very particular.

RUNAMUCK Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 fUCK ME! I sooo wouldn't bother with a morris sidewhacker. Just stick a datto motor in it, and then soup it up. I use Kelfords or mace motor reconditioners. You gotta get you lifters faced also. If you INSIST on sticking with the fail by design morris, you should at least supercharrge it.

tortron Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 sidevavle is actually a direct rip of the ford 10 sidevavle datto is less lol than a sidevalve im all about the lols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Shit man, by the time you get a cam ground, lifters refaced, and buy a gasket set, you could have bought a used datsun engine that would own a worked morry motor. But a blown morry motor........... Well, that would go almost as hard as a mildly worked datsun donk. Your motor has 3 main crank, and valve springs that would compress by an inch if a sandfly landed on them. Hey there's being oldschool and cool, and then there's just being gay. Scope out this moggy minor with a major improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 but seriously no shit - i realise the sidevalve is never going to be a wicked fast machine thats not what im after double valve springs are on my list too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I vote sidevalve. Not everythings about power for dollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 also il add How often do you expect to find an un cut up minor thesedays - 20 years from now? minors this early have a flat crossmember on the bulkhead -later ones have a bump here for engine clearance gasket set isnt a worry -il make most of it up and in anycase i would rebuild the engine anyway - so would still be buying one (originality is key here) a supercharger could potentially be bolted on one day but tehn so could an alta head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
