I am sure Rob is correct in saying the Crane is dead on GM specs. I have talked with a couple of people that told me that Crane was licensed or had authority to build cams to exact factory specs while other companies couldn't. I don't know how true this is but I would think that Crane may have been the company building the GM pieces that were available at one time.

Crane Cams says it plans to reopen after restructuring.
Crane Cams says it could reopen in 30 days.Well-known cam shafts company Crane Cams shut down Feb. 24 for restructuring but says it plans to reopen, likely sometime in March. All of the company’s 280 workers were laid off, though about 25 remain to work on military contracts. The closure was in response to the global economic problems, said vice president Steve Leva. He said the Daytona Beach, Fla., company planned to reopen in as soon as a week, or it may take up to 30 days |

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
I got a call-back this morning from Jegs that the '143' blueprinted Crane cam has been discontinued......for now at least..

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
Give the folks at Howards Cams a call. American made, high quality parts. I am pretty sure they will grind anything you need. A year or 2 ago anyway.

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
I'm now confused...is Scorpion going to re open Crane Cams like the job fair video suggests or are they now going to auction off all of Crane's assets, patents, and machinery??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
According to the local paper, Scorpion wasn't aware of the auction. IMO, I think the auction was scheduled before Scorpion got involved in negotiations to purchase Crane Cams.
