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 still fairly busy. Our primary work right now is industrial and antique cams.
November 4th marks the 3rd anniversary of my heart valve replacement. All is well on the health front. Thank God for modern medicine and good rehab facilities.
Parts Peddler show in Syracuse.
Camcraft will be at the Parts Peddler show

We hope to see many of you there
Thanksgiving schedule
We will be closed the 23rd
and 24th for the holiday. We will be open again Monday the 27th
for business as usual.
I will be doing some new lobe designs this fall and winter. I am working on some very short ramp profiles. There will be some additions to our XTLS series and possibly some new roller profiles.
Don’t forget to check out our 2 new catalogs. The first is Antique Performance cams and the 2nd one is Factory Performance Cams, which uses the OE part numbers. We cover all the 348-409 Chevy cams, FE Fords, 429CJ and SCJ, Ram Air Pontiac and Oldsmobiles and many more.
