<VV> dead cam in my 61

[Paleofish]

So two weekes ago we pulled the top cover on my 61 and discovered that it 
ate the exhaust lobes on the cam for cylinders 1 and 2.  Last weekend we 
took a break from working on my car to work on my brothers 63 coupe to 
re-ring the engine.

Yesterday we pulled the engine out of the car and the end of the rods so 
that we could split the case and replace the cam with a ULTRA cam and 
matching lifters from my dads garage.  When we pulled the rod caps we 
discovered that the rod bearings were toast.

This engine was new 8000 miles ago. New (reground) cam, new lifers, 
new rod and main bearings.  That is the most frustrating.
