3.5 swap, Cam drilling

I am at the point on my swap where I should be drilling new holes for dowel pins. I am using 3.5 cams, and have the spacers made by stevenmax, I was trying to figure out what needs to be done here and they seem like nothing would need to be drilled? I went back to the writeup on the org and I am a bit confused, I just want to be correct and not have to take this apart again, If i used 3.0 cams, I'd have to drill new dowel holes, but sense I am using 3.5 cams with spacers I will not have to drill them? If anyone has clairification I'd appreicate

haha, I am getting tired and stupid, I see now that you must reposition where my cam spacer dowl pin will go into the cam so that the pin on the other side is where the hole is now...right?

Wooooooooooooooooooo



Ok.



If you use 3.0 cams your power will suffer but you will need nothing.


If you use 3.5 cams you will need EITHER drilled cams/spacers OR cam adapters.

I'd get some adapters... No drilling required.

JP- IIRC those are StephenMax's alternative to the JWT cam spacers. So short answer, no.

From all your posting here it looks like you made up your mind (re post on NWMaxima) I would definitely come to a work meet for this project
