Given I cannot afford an original Bob Sharp valve cover does anyone just have the Bob Sharp oil filler cap?

Just picked up a Bob Sharp shifter knob for a reasonable price that is nice.

Also saw some prices on the Nissan dream poster and cannot justify the price for a piece of paper without autographs. Wow.

Yeah, that stuff has become serious collector magnets.

Some years ago Bob Sharp Himself was building a demonstration clone of his old race car. He wanted one of his own Bob Sharp cam covers on it. It took nearly a year to find one, and then it was so expensive even HE didn't buy it.

I saw one cam cover offered for $6,000 years ago.
Who are they kidding? I drive some cars which don't cost that much.

Thanks for the info that Mr Sharp could not get one. You would think he would have one signed by Newman. If he cannot get one I surely cannot. You always have good info.

It’s more than I have spent on cars too including my roadster. Do like the shift knob I got off of eBay and it was not a bad price. Tried to post a picture of the car but I could not.

Just replaced the cam on my race car/street car project and it’s running good again. After market cam with a lot of lift wiped the cam lobes on the old one. Running less lift so likely less horsepower but more torque. Bob Sharp manifold and 4 barrel run well. Car came with a certrifugal supercharger that I plan to hook up again in the future with a Holley Sniper fuel injection to hopefully keep it running too lean or too rich.

Now THAT sounds like an interesting project! Please keep us informed of your progress and problems; we learn a lot from other peoples' efforts :lol:

The 4Bbl carb manifold was one of the greatest performance boosters of the Z series. It slightly more than doubled the intake on the stock L engine. You were right to install a bumpier lift cam to handle the increased intake flow. Several of our members use that combination and their cars take off like scalded cats.

My own car runs a .490" lift / 290* duration Isky cam with good results. A little less fuel mileage but a satisfying slap in the back when I mash the Loud Pedal.

Tell us about that supercharger, please, and what kind of compression ratio you plan to run it with?

Using a cam with 540 lift 292 duration asymmetric. Which is a fair amount smaller than what was in there before!! Just took it out today. Runs nicely. Supercharger is a project for the future.
