Crane 503905

Seeing it on Summits website as unavailable, and me getting a coupon in the mail from Summit, and my wife getting a job to support my car hobby, does anybody know of a reputable place to get this cam? I see some online stores caring it, but I haven't really had to use anyone else, cause Summit used to carry all that I needed.

Told her I wanted this for my birthday next month and showed her the coupon, went online to show her what it was and it says n/a. Haven't called yet to verify. Guess ya'll bought all they had!! http://images.ford-trucks.com/forums...ssingteeth.gif

IIRC, Crane is no longer in business.

crane cams did close, then the rights to the company (and most importantly, the cam profiles, as i understand it) were purchased by S&S cycle. they have already started manufacturing cycle components and some ignition parts. expect valvetrain components to take longer, i believe someone else purchased the equipment. expect the ramp up to take a while, probably SBC cams, then SBF, BBC, BBF and finally specialty cam profiles, like our beloved big six. unless they redirect themselves under S&S leadership and redesign the company as a niche product company, which i really don't foresee. all this information is available on their website.

So, what would be the next best cam! How bout this one Ford 240 300 RV Torque Camshaft Cam F150 F100 van F250:eBay Motors (item 190327868197 end time Nov-09-09 06:23:03 PST) Specs seem pretty good, but not as good as the Crane!

I would highly recommend chatting with Iskenderian racing Cams. Although they do have a web site, it does not even come close to showing all their grinds. They are also the only cam mfg that checks every valve spring befor it leaves their shop!
