Default Who makes billet cam cores ?

Who makes billet cam cores ?

I'm working with Isky for their valvetrain but, they want a solid cam core to grind. (don't know why)

I know most company's like CompCams, do not make them, they just do grinding.

By the way, look at Isky's newer "EZ-ROLL" needle free, lifters.

Callies. Saw hundreds of them sitting there. Doubt they will sell any to you though. They make them for most cam manufacturers.

That's the issue. Isky does not have a cam for the FE, so they need a blank to grind themselves. They want the entire valvetrain to be Iskys.

You would think,.... they would have some company to deal with, but I guess it's up to me.

I really like their lifters.

Try Mike Jones, he gets his cores from the same place that Comp gets theirs.

There seems to be a problem getting a lot of cores right now. I would assume that Isky is having a hard time getting cores like other companies are right now. Ask them if they can regrind a camshaft that is already made. This may be an option or just get your camshaft from someone that has cores.

Good luck, Keith Craft

I'll check into all that's listed.

Just talked with Bob at Callies. Their in the process right now,.... of producing a core but, they can's find a plan. Ford is trying to locate one for them. Even if they had the plan, their still out apx. 8 weeks. I guess Crane did not keep a lot of plans themselves, so Callies is having a hard time with some of the cam plans.

Sounds like Crower has some on order.

Thanks.

Just talked with John of Howard's Camshafts and they do have a FE mechanical roller, 280 @ 50/410, apx. 700 + lift. Enough meat to custom grind. $121.99.

I have call in for Richard at Isky's.

What do you guys think of Howard's mechanical roller cam's & valvertrain, including rockers ? Haven't heard much.

Does T & D still beat them and most others ?
(maybe besides Crower)

Camshaft, Shmamshaft!!! Everybody knows that the real horsepower is in flywheels and oil pumps. That is where you should put your money.
