I think the cam key is just because its a long snout cam. Maybe the stock feller doesn't work with it?

For the converter, I see hughes offers the 'extreme towing' converters for the 46RE, kinda expensive, but, ya get what ya pay for. (under 500 bucks anyway.....)

That is pricey. Maybe I'll just stick with the stock one for now. Undecided this motor just keeps taking money lol. I have to drop the crank off to get turned as there are some groves I'm concerned about. Went to clean the pickup tube to reuse it and some decide sized metal chips came out, so I pulled the pump apart and I don't believe it came from the pump.

How much are you spending on the cam, associated hardware, tune, intake, et. al.???

In for a penny, in for a pound?

So go for a pair of the EQ Monster Magnum heads. I think you can get a pair for around a grand.
