Crane cams closed their doors and their assets were auctioned off April 22nd.

What a shame. They used to make good products. I used to go to their OLD shop near Ft Lauderdale, FL back in the late 50's when they were just getting going. We used their cams in the old Ford flatheads in the early days of NASCAR. (I still have my original NASCAR membership pin from 1956 - I forged my application, saying I was 21 when I was only 16!)

Crane has been an icon forever.

My engine builder installed a Melling cam in my engine. I didn't even know they made cams but he swears by them.
