Crane has their blue print cam series that are supposed to be a match for original Chev. cams.

I have one in my 70 Z28 and no problems whatsoever!

I prefer Comp. Cams thats what I have in my Nova (L78 spec cam) and it works great!! A lot of guys here on the site however swear by the Crane blueprint cams...

For American made EDM lifters, Howards Cams has them. Nice parts.

Ditto, have the Crane LT1 cam in my Deuce, no problems. A mutual friend took a 6k mile LT1 cam, an NOS LT1 cam, and the Crane blueprint LT1 cam and put them all on a Cam Doctor. No differences!

Like Eric said above, the lifters with the bleed hole and breaking in the cam on the outer springs only are pretty much a must-do...even more cheap insurance is to cryo treat 'em.

Oh, and go with the Crane unit...

The Clary's have the "real" proof....time slips. The seat of the pants can be VERY misleading. Ask guys who go to the strip a lot.
