Title: Had your cammer today!!!

If you have a spare $45,000 there's a cammer on ebay.  Think they're also throwing in a Talladega.

I grew up just a few blocks away from Ireland's Auto Electric in North Portland. Bill Ireland was/is a racing legend in the PNW and a Ford "privateer". I used to peek into his shop on a regular basis and was there a few days after he had received a half dozen or more Cammers and trannies from Ford. What surprised me the most was that everyone of those engines was completely torn down reassembled. Have always wondered what improvements the guys at Ireland's came up with. Or if any of those were never used and are sitting in a crate somewhere.

This one is from 2009.A little better shot with a wheels up lanch.I was out at his place 3 weeks back with the 520 on his dyno.Its a lot of fun to listen to his perspective on things.He's very bright and down to earth.

Jay has a very nice web site (FE Power Forum), if you have not checked it out, you should. He does some amazing work and is a super nice guy. Always willing to share knowledge. I met him in Montgomery a few years back when the Power Tour stopped at MMP. The 64 Gal is an amazing pease of work.
