Dear Customers,
The end of the racing season
is here and somehow we are still pretty busy. Business seems to be spotty for
most people right now. Some people are busy; others are about dead in the water.
Most of our regular race engine builders are fairly busy. Our primary work right
now is industrial and antique cams.
November 4th marks the 2nd anniversary of my
heart valve replacement. I can’t believe how much better I feel. I also can
remember how weak I was for some time after the procedure. Thank God for modern
medicine and good rehab facilities.
Antique performance cam catalog
We now have a catalog devoted to Antique Performance Cams. Call or e-mail for your copy. It is now on our web site. All cams listed are ground on new castings and include flathead Fords, all nailhead Buicks, Poly 318 Chryslers, 56-64 Olds 324, 371 and 394, Y Block Fords, 270 & 302 GMC, and many more. Many of these castings are only available through Camcraft. The catalog is not printed so we prefer to send via e-mail. Just ask. charles@camcraftcams.com. Be sure to put something appropriate in the subject line, like Antique cam catalog, or it may get deleted. They are in Microsoft Excel format. We may have a limited supply of printed catalogs soon. We also stock many new factory performance profiles.
The engines listed are those for which we have new castings. We do regrind other cams, for which there are no new castings, to a more performance oriented profile. Rely on Camcraft to add that extra zip to your antique restoration or hot rod.
