I tore apart my 350 this weekend to replace the cam heads and intake. The motor ran pretty strong and I was told it had been rebuilt recently when i bought it. Well when I pulled the cam it was a crane cam. It said Crane Fireball 290h. i search the internet and crane's website but didn't find anything. Can someone tell me what the specs are?

thank you i guess i should have looked harder. Could I reuse this cam with new lifters or not?

 

You can reuse roller lifters if they're not collapsed, but never flat tappet lifters ever.

 

You should be able to re-use it with new lifters (I've done it before). You will have to follow standard break-in procedures though. As Token said, don't re-use the old lifters, after all, it is a flat tappet cam.

 

But for a set of nice lifters from Comp Cams, $60 is cheap insurance against a wiped lobe or abnormal lobe wear...

 

Quote "Could I reuse this CAM with new lifters or not?"

He wants to use new lifters with the old cam, not reuse the old lifters.

 

 

I know not to ever reuse lifters I just wasn't sure if the same applied to the cam itself.
