Have you called them to see if they have them in stock? I'm pretty sure they were the first folks I called about a month or so ago looking for a cam for Chris Teed...I called all over the country, and finally found a small warehouse in Tennessee that had *1* sitting on the shelf...

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!

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.

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
 

Lynn: you'd better check on your order, 'cause the guy I talked to on the phone just now said they hadn't had those kits for some time. Of course they didn't have any of the '143' bbc cams either [GM part # 12364057...Crane part # 19038], and he said the number has been purged from the system...!

Friggin' shame...that was one of those cams that you *knew* was a good cam, and you wouldn't have to worry if someone guessed at the specs correctly.

I agree, looks like current management is trying to make something happen and get things back up and running.

It's strange seeing the parking lot virtually empty....https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
 

Sorry to see them go. Crane was a respected name. I'm sure there are other companies that have good GM " blueprint " cams though.

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
 

Crane ain't dead yet.

Sit tight.

Re: Crane Cams R.I.P.
 

They are selling and moving to China. Will re-open Summer and new name is Clane Cams............sorry I couldn't help myself! This is sad and I hope they do get back to business soon.
