Yes but if i change the cam anyway, then it should not make a difference -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Herb [mailto:zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sendt: 24. juni 2009 19:05 Til: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Emne: Re: SV: 361BB That is going to be a chore to modify. The cam runs backward from the crankshaft. The aftermarket gear sets have idler gears to get everything going in the right direction.

And they are like forward gears in a gearbox, as oppse to straight in the rewerse gear. I am not I am making any sense to you, but I am trying. I forgot to tell you that it is a military Chrysler engine from a armoured carrier. Best, Knud-erik -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Gary H.
