Hey MM ever tried a Norris cam? I have a 407s in my 2276 bus. I started with the 120 but my head builder (Tuttle) said to try the Norris. I do like it much better. It has loads of bottom end and comes on hard at 4000 rpm. Try one!

Im kind of waiting MM to respond to this. Im using this thread as an exact template for my motor build. I know he built this motor for a bus and mine is going in a vert but im intersdted to know if he or his customer are completely satisfied with the cam selection or if they have a recommendation to go another route.I have a feeling that the w120 is selected by default in a lot of cases but other manufacfurers like web-cam are somewhat less known but have more state-of-the-art engineering into their cam grinds. |
Ive never run a norris cam. Its just not something i even know how to get my hands on. So i stick with what i know.
This thing makes torque everywhere. When i drive it.. i shift it at 3k and it pulls so hard between 1800 and 3k its just crazy.
He pushes it much harder and heads toward 6k rpm when he drives it. lol.
So two totally different driving styles yet it works for both and he just loves it.
It has one of johns SVDA's on it and gets around 26 mpg loaded down on long road trips. And get this.. he usually goes 70-80 mph and gets that mileage.
right now its parked cause he broke the nose cone mount getting on it.
So as soon as its fixed my plan is to get some vid for this thread.

| Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I came across this build while researching 2007's for my straight axle bus project and it seems to be the perfect combo. I'm curious how this engine is holding up. |

Kicking ass and taking names. He drives it everywhere. Just towed his heilite to blackstar and back to vegas in the heat.
I can put you in contact with him if youd like.

Just caught this thread myself; sounds like a nice build. How many miles are on the thing?

I am still waiting for an update on this. The owner sounds like he drives the piss out of it. Should get a video of a ride-along. Kinda like the clown bus video.....but better. Haha |

Ill talk with him about that. The plan is to go dyno it before he raises it back to stock height.
Hes tired of the lowered life. Wants to camp in it more and offroad it.

Sal is this the engine you have in your bus now? That thing sounded meaty when I was down there. My buddy Brian has me convinced to build it.
Thank MM for the info!
