Still available due to timewaster:
Set of 'fast road' camshafts for the 12-valve Alfa Romeo 3.0 V6, along with the chip upgrade for the engine management system that is mapped for these cams and also has an increased rev limit to 72000rpm.
(the engines are good for that limit, and can/could take 8000 for short bursts)
These camshafts were sourced from E.B.Spares and with the chip and cams the engines was tested at 217bhp on a rolling road (by CCC).
The cams are not 'full race' in any way; engine still extremely driveable at the low end, but with some increase at the top end. I seem to recall that they were perhaps 'Autodelta' parts (not the UK company, but the Italian tuners). I guess you could call E.B.Spares to ask about 3.0 V6 fast road camshafts and get price and specification for comparison.
To fit these cams into the Alfa engine, a small amount of milling/machining is needed to the heads to get clearance for the cam lobes. This can be done with the engine still in the car - I don't have the details though.
Disadvantage to this offer:
You have to take the near-complete engine (assumed blown head gasket and leaky valve guides/seals) as well as the camshafts.
Advantages: More power; head mods performed already; new water pump fitted (only used once); thermostat housing was known to fit Hawk V6 chassis
Sorry, offer no longer available
