lol. thanks colin. im not asking how tho. i didnt get a chance to pick up the cams so it could be a while. im gonna attempt it on some gokart engines i have first lol.. grind the cams and weld the tappets and grind down to adjust valve lash to proper spec. might pocket the flat top head on the kart engine to allow higher lift. max it out.

the lotus link is awesome. and i know its not something you can just eyeball.. and if you dont understand the theory of cam grinding... ( saying i needed to weld metal on) then you have no place even commenting in the thread. you grind the round side. the valves can self adjust that little bit you grind of.. thus making you have a higher lift on the lobe side. its a simple concept to gain power. but to do it right is gonna take time. and i understand that. and am fully prepared to spend hours probably days without a proper,, proper meaning legit 10k$ machine lol.. to measure everything as i go and make sure i dont take off too much. dont worrie guys. when it comes out good. im gonna be buying up stock m42 cams and selling regrinds for a decent price. and your 5 lug hub idea is awesome. i had been curious about this myself. cant you just retap 5 lug wholes in the existing hub? i thought that seemed fairly plausible to achieve if you made a 5lug template with the centric bore to align the holes. i feel like you could even get away with missing all the 4 lug holes. goodluck with your new 5 lug endeavor.

i mean its not even that. ill make sure i post some pics. it could be a few weeks, maybe a month or two before i start this. making my grinding bench should be fun. theres a difference in diy'ers who think about how to do things. and then theres diy'ers who do the things they think of. im a do'er idk about you guys.

you make it out to be some godly knowledge or seomthing. its not all that difficult if you simply understand it. measure twice grind once. i understand it. and actually might have access to a cnc lobe grinder soon.
and its just a extra set of cams im about to buy im trying it on. if it doesnt turn out proper i wont put them on. simple as that.

i had 4.10 small case for the first week i owned it.. sheered a spider gear doing a burnout lol.. then bought a 2.93lsd from a junkyard for 60 bucks. it was fun as shit on wet roads.. but sluggish as hell till 4500rpm lol then bought another 4.10 open for 80. i was gonna try to swap the carriers of the 2.93 and the 4.10 diff and come out with a 4.10 lsd but i didnt get around to that.. anyways. put it in. and it was spunky and would bark second gear. but then found a 3.73locker for 120. so i said why not try it. sold the 2.93 for 150 i love salvage yards. i got the 3.73 in and loved it.. actually have a first gear, and a highway gear. with my rev limit at 7k i hit 40 in first 70 in second 100 in third. and idk the rest lol. 3.73 is perfert for this car. ill try to post a vid
