Yes indeed, the irony is I just want to take the cam out and put it in the 360, otherwise the 318 is just for spares, boat anchor etc,,

Thanks Pete, i thought it would. Does it need to be something medieval?

Bit of plate steel, 4 holes, 3 bolts into the damper and some imagination with the centre bolt or use the damper bolt to push.

Remember the Damper holes are not blind so do not screw in the bolts too far or you will damage the chain case (well, you could on a big block, not sure on SB)

Thanks steve, that made my day! I remember doing similar things with Lambretta engines 20 yrs ago. We didnt know that you had such things as extracting tools. Dozens of engine case parts despatched to the skip

I've actually got a Edelbrock performer cam/followers sitting on the shelf, I may just fit those to get back on the road. Ho hum..

Not so out of date. Me and 'Mustang Mike' were discussing that option (rather than a big axe!) last evening.

Just make sure the wood doesn't break and end up behind the flex plate.... now thats a pig!
