Honda CB350 "Fat" Cam for "Skinny" Cam

[loudboy]

In the process of rebuilding my 1971 CB350 twin, decided to replace the badly pitted camshaft. A buddy of mine sent me a replacement, but unfortunately it is a "fat" cam from early bikes. Anyone have a "skinny" cam? I'll trade/buy it from you! Thanks.

why not just find the appropriate matching rocker arms and run the "fat" cam? If I recall they're supposed to be a performance upgrade for the later model "skinny" cam engines?

Good idea. I'd seen mention of that before, and now looking into it more it's just a matter of which I find first!

Because they're hard to find. You would also need the camchain gear.
