Crane Cams R.I.P.

[SMGCO]

Sorry to see them go. Crane was a respected name. I'm sure there are other companies that have good GM " blueprint " cams though.

Crane ain't dead yet.

Sit tight.

They are selling and moving to China. Will re-open Summer and new name is Clane Cams............sorry I couldn't help myself! This is sad and I hope they do get back to business soon.

Had many a Crane cam in my old Chevys

The more I hear this, the more I want to find a way to use my old 143's in my basement...

[DarrenX33]

They have my business when they get back up and running. I have been waiting for a 143 for my L78 for 2 months now.

Darren: you called around? I tried over a dozen places before I found Chris' 143, but there's gotta be some sitting on a shelf somewhere...just dump the part # in Google and start dialing!

There are independent cam grinders out there who can regrind your old cams. Some of them will build up the lobes so they don't have to drastically reduce the "circle" and then heat treat. If done properly, it will be better than new.

I used many Blue Racer Cams in my street motors!

That's too funny! It's truly sad, but we gotta see the humor or we'll all go crazy.
I agree, there will be a lot more of this before it's over.
