[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3769448, member: 15054"] I was at the cam shop and David told me a couple years ago that a ( BBC )Big Block Chevy cam will drive the Small Block Chevy cam bearings right out. Yep it did that and super easy. Yesterday I had a wild idea of making a cam bearing installer using the BBC camshaft. All lobes were ground off of the BBC cam and on one end on the front journal I machined 3/4" of the journal down to the SBC cam journal size so a SBC cam bearing will slip over it. Just like on a regular cam bearing driver. Some of the BBC journal size is still there to give a lip to drive the bearing in place. Worked like a charm. I actually ground the journal down less than the SBC size to be able to wrap 1 round of electric tape around the journal to hold the cam bearing in place on the new tool. I wish I had a working camera! [/QUOTE]
