1-2-3 blocks?  The guy on eBay said those were “camshaft display blocks”. 😁😁

 
I use mine for all kinds of stuff.  Lol

Funny, I just ordered a dog river tools tramming gauge off of Am azon, then I wound up at HF buying a second dial indicator for it.    I sold it to my wife by calling it tramming for dummies!  (she thinks I have enough tools* which I further explain is impossible).  Trying to tram with a base off of  the spindle is time consuming!

I like the blocks holding the cam up.  They are very universal!   I might ask my brother to print up some 3d cam holders.   Maybe he would do that for me.   He printed me a plastic case for those cheap warrior hex drill bits that is pretty neat.

Nice Video !
Was the Trick Flo cam made for 5.0-351 Windsor engines.... or was it made for an engine significantly LARGER (cubic inches)
393 cu. in. is WAYYYY larger than 5.0 or even a 351W.

it is labeled as a 351w cam but I think that has to do with the firing order.

It’s an interesting thought experiment that the cam  should work the same regardless of displacement IF AND ONLY IF intake and head flow increase proportionally to displacement. In other words as displacement goes up if there is a head intake flow restriction you increase cam performance to compensate for those restrictions.

As to your one size fits none or a Chevy I don’t think any make or model is at more disadvantage or advantage. Even the Chevy guys, unless running the exact combination of parts the cam was specifically designed for they are going to have the same issues we do. Further more with computer testing/modeling more cams likely are make and model specific and way less real world testing and design is even being done.
