Cams...from Beginning to End!

Genuine Crane 8620 and 9310 Steel Billet Cams... The Strongest Available!

Our famous carburized roller cams begin as 8620 or 9310 alloy steel billet bar stock. Each cam then undergoes numerous precision manufacturing operations required to produce a finished cam. You can identify a genuine Crane cam core by the distinctive copper plating between the lobes! Crane 8620 and 9310 steel billet cam cores are used by prominent racers, engine builders, and manufacturers.

Lobe-To-Lobe, Cam-To-Cam Accuracy!

Only Crane Cams delivers that famous Crane lobe-tolobe, cam-to-cam accuracy that engine builders trust! Crane Cams are always measurably more accurate because we begin with the industry's most accurate tooling and end with the industry's most accurate manufacturing... all performed in-house, by Crane!

Roller Cam Power With Hydraulic Cam Convenience!

The world's finest, strongest, most durable carburized and induction hardened steel billet cams and the proven power making capabilities of Crane Cams' hydraulic roller lobe profiles produce roller cam power with the easy maintenance of a standard hydraulic cam!

The World's Most Powerful Cam Profiles For AllOut Racing!

For more than 55 years Crane Cams have powered winners and broken records! Crane-pioneered dual-pattern cam lobe profiles first appeared in the 1960's, and are today's primary component in shattering drag racing's 330 mph Top Fuel barrier and the Pro/Stock 200 mph barrier! When records fall, Crane Cams make it happen!

About the Catalog

This catalog is organized into three separate sections. First is the Cam & Valve Train Application pages which includes all the necessary information needed to choose the right camshaft for your needs. Next is the Cam & Valve Train Buyer's Guide. The Buyer's Guide contains additional product applications and additional information not found on the regular applications pages. The final section is the Ignition and Ignition Buyer's Guide pages.

Each product section is organized in alphabetical order, and in "Make, number of cylinders, year, engine" fashion. Cam & Valve Train Applications are organized in alphabetical order, by engine make. Cam profiles ("grinds") are listed beginning with the "mildest" duration (lowest numerical duration shown at .050" cam lobe lift) through the "wildest" duration figures.

A camshaft Quick Reference Guide precedes the Cam & Valve Train Applications section. This is a listing with basic specifications of all the camshaft grinds that appear in this catalog. This provides a condensed version of the complete camshaft specification listings that appear on each page of the Engine Application section that follows.

Choosing The Correct Cam All Crane Cams are organized in typical "Make, number of cylinders, year, engine" fashion, and according to the type of lifter used... Hydraulic, Hydraulic Roller, Mechanical (Sometimes called "solid" or "flat tappet"), and Mechanical Roller. Cam profiles ("grinds") are listed beginning with the mildest duration through the most radical in each lifter type. Each left page begins with the Application column. This column gives basic application information. In the next column is the Cam Series and Grind Number. Next is the RPM Power Range, and then the cam Part Number. "Cam Only" cams usually have a suffix (last) digit "1" in the part number. Cam & Lifter Kits usually have a "2" digit suffix. Application provides additional information about the camshaft. If the idle quality is other than stock, it is also noted in this column. Cam specs data such as valve lift, duration and lobe separation is shown at the far-right of each cam listing. To choose a street performance cam refer to "Choosing The Right Cam", and "Getting Information", found on pages 13 and 14-15. Note the part number of the cam you select.
