Has anybody figured this out yet? I know there was a question on this back awhile ago...maybe I missed the answer.

No, you didn't miss the answer, which is:

I don't know. I'm researching it with some help of other v8 owners, and maybe eventually I'll call Crane. The 2030 cam looks promising though!

It turns out though that I was right about one thing- to get a cam emissions-certified costs the company a lot of time and $$.. which might be why our 2.8 cams aren't smog legal. Why would a company waste $$ on the v6's? (Not that I'm mad, I'm just glad there's cams out there for us!)
