Very good point here.

Never mind on the torque converter comment then.

I think I'm going to start doing cam swaps when I retire.

I know that is what shops are getting, but just five years ago I had my machine shop put a stroker kit in the vert for 7k and for an extra 1k, they did the R&R. That included a cam swap, new lifters and even a clutch. I did supply the cam and tune.

If I'm going to all the hassle to swap cams, no way am I putting a hydraulic roller back in. Solid roller for the WIN

Pricing has definitely increased...I think I paid 2800-3200 years back.
