crane cam for 22re, should i buy it?
i found a crane cam (272) mid range performance camshaft for a 22re on craigslist, for $40. anybody think this is a good deal? ive never heard of a crane cam, so i was wondering if its some kind of pos knockoff.
anyway, if you guys were me, would you say deal, or no deal?
thanks

make sure it works with stock valve springs and you might not like the way it idles.
it's one of these 3 cams: http://www.summitracing.com/search/B...word=crane+cam actually skip the one in the middle.
Valve Springs Required Yes Yes that tell me your gonna need special valve spring to run that cam.

WOW..that sounds like...an 8N Ford tractor,or me after eatin a big bowl of chile.I wouldn't do a cam with that much duration in a (probably) stock comp. 22RE. It may sound/run o.k. with >10.5:1 comp., not a stocker otherwise..I say leave the cam alone (stock).Sleepr71.

it's just like the 270 cam from EB just a lil more duration..
will open up your top end a little bit...would be best paired with a free flowing exhaust.
i love the idle lope

it all depend on the duration and lift of your cam some lose low end some gain more low end it all depends waht youdo with your truck there are almost as many cams for a 22r as there is for a sbc just do a little googling
