Friend has parts that came with an A. He is a hotrodder and will never do anything with it.

Found a JC Whitney model A cam new in the box 312 or 3-2. Worth while buying?

I haven’t measured anything yet. But I will check. What would be the size of model A lifters compared to model B?

Wow all positive. Thanks. He has done a couple for me. One with stock pistons in a 239 and another with stock mercury pistons in a 81a block and mercury crank, bored 1/8”.

I have a friend that is looking for used mercury pistons. He is in his 80s and builds, freshens up old flatheads. Being north of the border it cost a small fortune to buy new ones. He has a few mercury cranks and no pistons. When he scraps old engines he will save valves and guides that are in...
