Re: R.I.P Crane Cams
Amazing how deeply this "recession" is reaching. I watched Drag Racing on
ESPN and saw teams with no sponsorship and they were big names with no money. Never would have thought.

Re: R.I.P Crane Cams
I had a crane cam in my first hotrod, a 1973 Z28 with an LT1 in it from a Corvette. That car really moved and was a head turner. The Crane cam and lifters were quality products and stood up to repeated flogging. It is sad to see them go under.

Re: R.I.P Crane Cams
On one hand i'm sorry to see them go but on the other hand things have been getting worse from them for a while, especially since Mikronite bought them. i haven't used stuff from them for a good while now.

Re: R.I.P Crane Cams
That news really saddens me. I installed one of their cams and a set of lifters 12 years ago in my 68 mustang. Just a great product.Time for a moment of silence.

Re: R.I.P Crane Cams
Crane's not the only one...Hedman Headers have enough stock for 90 days so they told the workers to go home, for a while. MSD is not far away from chapter 11, also. Both Crane & MSD were bought out a few short years ago...

Re: R.I.P Crane Cams
Not sure how many of you have heard this but Crane 'IS' going to re-open in the next couple-few weeks from what my sources tell me.

Re: R.I.P Crane Cams
For the past couple days it looked like Scopion Performane was steping up to the plate & was going to take over/buy out what's left of Crane but as of today Liqui Tec Industries has been hired to liquidate the assest of Crane Cams...on again...off again
