Hyrdaulic Flat Tappets
Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshafts are commonly installed in high-performance muscle cars built before the end of the 1980s. Hydraulic Flat Tappets provide 7,000 revolutions per minute and might require a custom grind to increase the engine torque.
Hydraulic Roller
Hydraulic Roller camshafts are ideal aftermarket replacements for engines manufactured with push-rod-style engines. Hydraulic roller camshafts have a flat power curve and are a suitable replacement option for retrofitting older engines.
Mechanical Flat Tappet
Mechanical Flat Tappets possess a maximum power band of 8,500 engine revolutions per minute. Mechanical Flat Tappets are an ideal stock engine replacement option for muscle cars.
Mechanical Roller
Mechanical Roller camshafts are optimized for performance levels that exceed 10,000 engine revolutions per minute. Mechanical Rollers are typically used in competitive racing environments.
SOHC and DOHC
SOHC and DOHC camshafts are an alternative design, typically seen in Ford automobiles. The SOHC and DOHC camshafts are an overhead cam design and do not have lifters such as other traditional camshafts have.
Customizations
Crane Camshafts provides many advanced customizations to the standard manufacturer's camshaft lines. Customizations typically include replicating vintage cam shaft designs, improving cam shaft drive and efficiency, and re-engineering cams for a more prominent sound. Crane Camshafts also employ custom regrinds to restore camshafts to original OEM specifications.
