Crane cam and lifter ?

When did Harvey Crane die? He "owned" the company, but he was maybe "the" brains behind it, too. Not unheard-of that a company fails to plan for the change-of-leadership.

 

2013, but he retired back in 1989. Good historical writeup:

most cam company's never modernize. the only 2 i can think of is Comp cams and Lunati. Crane is not the only one what about Crower,Isky,Ultradyne,Erson,Racer Brown,Schneider,Melling and Edelbrock etc etc

 

Interesting write ups!
That sucks he was fired from his own company

 

Harold Brookshire was thought as crazy,at first,when he tried to introduce his cam grinds. He went off and started UltraDyne and made some great cams and later made the grinds for Lunati,and a few other companies,before he passed away. It was great to have known him and gain more knowledge.

 

Bullet still uses Ultradyne lobes

 

So how does this cam compare to the TA 212?

 

VERY close, mentioned in post #3.

Here's the TA212 for comparison: https://www.taperformance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=TA_212-455

Bet nobody could tell the difference when degreed the same.
