Is it feasible to metal spray a cam?

Based on this they should be able to grind you a cam from a standard iron blank. I know for a fact they have slant six cores because they have made me a couple for the stocker..

Phillip, they have cores, but a roller requires a fatter lobr profile and apparently, there's just not sufficient material for the required lobe profile that would be needed for the roller.

At least, that's the way I understand it.

The slant six cores he has at Comp are for a flat tappet cam.

Am I wrong?

Bob, Bushmaker's car runs a 360 V8, and his daughter's Valiant runs a 273 V8.... I don't know of any slant 6 cars he ever had anything to do with.

Thanks for the response.
