Teazer, On ebay about a week ago someone in California had the HC cams, rockers and springs plus the Webco 350 pistons, rings and springs. I was going to be gone so never checked for what they went for and now can't find them. He said they were all original and still in the original cartons. Cliff

Teazer, Found the two items, I wish now I would have been able to follow the bidding, I may have gotten involved. The Webco kit also included the sleeves and head gasket. The guy was from Glendale, California and the HC items went for $665.77 and the Webco kit was $770.00, some what less than what I figured they would go for, especially the HC items. Cliff

Les Barker sells new forged Wisecos for about 400 a set. Add in a set of liners and rebore the barrels for larger liners and then bore and hone the barrels and it starts to get expensive.

Cams are available from megacycle but not with roller rockers. That's a lot of money but none of that stuff was ever cheap.

Speed costs - how fast can you afford to go?

At last a topic I can contribute to.
I rode and raced several 305's TT and flattrack in AMA Dist 37 (So Cal) in the 1960's.
The fastest and most dependable racer I ever had was one with H&C track cams and springs (non roller).
It had a ported head (Axtell I think), Corvette coils, K&N filters on velocity stacks and TT pipes so it wasn't just the cams but they were a big part of it, I could even run with those pesky Bultaco Pursangs on a good day if our classes were combined.
I can remember drooling over the H&C catalog and the roller cam setup but I don't have any first hand experience there.
I'm close to getting a 1967 CL77 rider on the road here in New Orleans and looking forward getting back into riding after 30 years, if my 60 yo back can take it that is!
Digging through this website has been a great inspiration and resource for me, thanks to all the constructive contributors!
Attached is a pic of me on that bike, I'm 69r (sideways as usual).
