Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
Scoggin Dickey still has the GM performance parts cam kits, made by Crane.

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
You gotta think there is value in the name. They have been around for way to long. I'd bet another manufacturer buys the name.

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
I can't go into details, but I just got a very encouraging phone call from someone who's had ties with Crane for a very long time.
All isn't lost yet!

[/ QUOTE ] It may be hard. When Micronite bought Crane they sold off all the property to an investment group in Boston. Crane rented from them. Maybe Bankrupcy or Chapterb 7 is likeley. I guess someone could buy the name and start over

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
This is gonna sound silly to most folks, but the Crane/GM '143' blueprint is the best of the breed in regards to blueprint cams...myself & others have tried blueprint cams from other companies and they've all fallen short...why, I don't know, but in "Pure Stock" the Crane/GM piece has proven itself.

[/ QUOTE ] Hi Rob: I didn't call, but did place an order for two Z/28 cam kits. My order was confirmed, which normally doesn't happen unless they have the parts in stock. It was late last night, so I couldn't call. No big deal if my order gets canceled, but figured it wouldn't hurt to try. Of course, a phone call during business hours is still best to check on availablity. Lynn
