Picked up my Summit Pontiac 455 cam 2802 in UPS WPG today


First of all I have to share this tip with all of yous : NEVER let UPS handle the brokerage fees ! I always clear with Canada Customs and today they were very nice to me by letting me get away without taxes ! All you have to do is when the part is sent from the USA, get the UPS tracking # right away phone them and let 'em know you want to take care of the brokerage fees yourself, trust me you'll save a ton of money...

As for the cam, anybody knows how to degree a cam or should I bother with it and install it straight up ? Here are the specs :

I was going to install a set of once rebuilt 1971 GTO heads #96 but found many burnt valves and a cracked exhaust valve, good thing I took them apart for inspection.

Now I'm installing a nice set of 6X#4 heads off a 1978 W72 400 Trans Am, will give me the same compression as above heads of about 9 to 1, nice low mileage heads I found, they still look new !

Nice tip on the UPS/brokerage fees. I usually make the 1 hour drive to the border, not a big deal. I didn't know that you could have the option of handling the fees.
