I was just trying to find something compatable with the cam I just bought. I have a custom ground Clay Smith.
in. opens 37
in closes 77
duration at .050 246
in valve lift 630
ex opens 77
ex closes 37
duration at .050 246
ex valve lift .630

This cam was ordered specially for a set of Canfield heads. I've been waiting 4 months for the heads and am about ready to give up on them. I was looking as some Darts or some World Products from Teague. I found a couple of places that actually have them in hand. I can't find any AFR's in stock anywhere. Teague recommended I ditch the Clay Smith and go with the 741 series instead, I'm a little confused because they seem similar as far as lift goes.

Anybody have any heads they can ship immediately? I need to get this back together and get it over to AZSM before Desert Storm Poker Run. If not I will probably go with Teague's heads that they custom spec out from World Products.

Badkachina,
The primary difference is the Clay Smith is a single pattern and the Crane is a dual pattern cam. The Crane is 10º shorter on the intake side, slightly less lift, and 2º shorter on the exhaust side with similar lift.
Most marine applications benefit from a dual pattern profile.

What runner/combustion chamber dimensions will you be using? We may be able to help with the AFR product line.

I was going to use 310 intake runner with 125 combustion chamber to drop my compression a little since it's a blower motor. I figure I can run either 310 or 325 intake runner with 118 or bigger chamber. The motor is a gen vi 502 mag efi with a vortech supercharger.

I know, they make good stuff, but if you can't buy it what good is it?
