Topic: What's a fair price for a 650 cam?

[chadbenson]

I have a '76 550k and am thinking of doing the 650 cam swap. I've got a friend with the cam, the tach drive gear and the 650 tach as well. Which from what i've read is all I should need right? If so what's a reasonable price that I should offer? He threw out $100 as a ballpark....

100 is fair for all that IMO

That sounds about right for everything.   I wont say what I sold a cam and tack to a friend though .   It was to cheap and still sitting here thirsty

i bought all of the same for a total of $50

Just think of it as a savings bond in beer.  It will pay out eventually, and while the return isn't all that great at least it's guaranteed!

I've got two of the cams and one tach drive and one tach (you need a 650 tach too).  I paid $65 for one of the cams and I can't remember what I paid for the other but it was about the same and the 650 tach (could be in a lot better shape) came with it.  I bought the tach drive gear separately, it cost me $35.

So I'd say that your $100 price sounds about right.  Just make sure you mike the cam lobes (and inspect the journals) before you buy it.

Thanks for the input guys. Might try and go 3/4ths and say $75 bucks. I'm most likely not going to be doing the swap until probably this coming winter.
