NO DAMN edit button but its a Pontiac GA and not a Cutless calais sorry was thinking about the calais 442 we parted out
good find guys..better hoard those parts..they are getting harder and harder to find
I hate to burst your bubble, but if you measured the cams from that GA, I bet you'll find they're not .410 lift. GA looks to be an automatic, so that rules out it being an HO motor. The 086 head still came on LO motors, so the castings aren't impossible to come by. The real question is, will they pass a test when you get them checked at the machine shop. That will tell the truth of how good your find was. Best of luck to you...
^^^^ TRUTh!!!!
nice finds all the same. i agree with scott... getting harder to locate.
so was it a 442?
I'm tired of wasting my time... now I'm breakin' free.

NO it was a GA i got the new 086 and cams outa the other head thats on top of the new head is a GTZ Beretta head
Can't you tell the difference in the HO cam and the LO cams?
Don't HO cams have a much sharper tip on the cam than the LO cams?
I'ma try to have the Cams Mic'd tomorrow while i'm at work or on lunch i'll try and post about lunch time whather or not there HO cams or lo cams
off the GTZ they should be .410's still. Lobes can be dulled in time, so that's hard to judge. Once they're mic'd you'll know for sure. Did you inspect the heads for cracks between the valves when you pulled the heads? car didn't look wrecked, so it likely went to the yard for a bad motor...
