Crower #E29641. There is one on ebay that I bid on. Thinking of putting it in my 400.

Well, I guess nothing.

I don't know- I looked through the Crower catalog and almost all their Pontiac cams start with a part number of #6...

Goatman · 06-01-2002, 03:21 PM

I would call Crower and ask him. It may be something that he did custom. At any rate, he'll definitely be able to tell you everything you want to know.

here is the camshaft....
part number 60355
COMPU-PRO /PERFORMANCE LEVEL 5 -Upper mid-range and top
end profile for added power above 7000 rpm.
RPM Power Range:5200 to 8000 plus.

cut and pasted from crower mag. this is the only pontiac cam made by crower on ebay at the present time. The rpm range is 5200 to 8k. so you would have to have a high revving engine for this cam to be useful. what is your setup???

bob8748 · 06-02-2002, 01:52 PM

5200 - 8K seems awefully high RPM range. Building mine for top end and dont see it goin much over 6000. I too am interested in your set up. Dont see the 400 spinning that high.

Nickv · 06-02-2002, 02:00 PM

Cpertice, that cam is not the one I was looking at.

cpetrice · 06-02-2002, 02:46 PM

okay,that was the only one on ebay for pontiac,unless you were eyeballing the sbc one.....

Nickv · 06-02-2002, 03:04 PM

Ok, I think I found the specs.

Specs are 239/247 @ .050" with .500/.522" lift using 1.5 rockers.110 LSA

cpetrice · 06-02-2002, 03:36 PM

what heads,etc are you using? on pontiacwarriors.com,on a desktop dyno,they are using 6x heads,with a cam similiar to that one,Duration: 240 Intake / 246 Exhaust (@ 0.050)

damn nick,I don't know. there is no engine in the dyno sims with a cam that spec,a smaller cam,here is those stats.
Edelbrock Performer RPM Cam: (Ram Air IV cam)

LSA: 113.5 degrees

Peak Torque: 396 lb./ft @ 5000 RPM

cpetrice · 06-02-2002, 04:32 PM

this is with 1.5 rockers,I might add.

Nickv · 06-02-2002, 08:19 PM

This cam may be an older discontinued crower cam.

I was thinking of putting it in my 400. I may still do that, since I won the ebay bid. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It seems like a radical cam to me, along the lines of say the CC292 cam.

2FAST4U · 06-03-2002, 12:33 AM

May be a little radical...but hey you can always use Rhodes Lifters to tame things a bit.

Tim Swain · 06-03-2002, 01:56 PM

This past weekend I changed to a smaller solid cam. I get better quarter times with single pattern cams, with under 40 NET duration and under 500 NET lift.
Now this is a street car on passenger tires.
Try the cam if you don't like it you can always change it. I like changing cams, I've had 4 cams in my 66 goat. I can't wait to try this one out at the track.

PROBRD · 06-04-2002, 06:19 PM

Since you have e-heads it sounds like a good cam for a street car. If you had unported d-heads I would say it is probably too big. I would put it in. It should run pretty well. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nickv · 06-05-2002, 07:55 PM

I wonder how it will perform with my 3:55 rear and stock converter? Hmmm... I guess I'll try it and see.

Nickv · 06-13-2002, 07:15 PM

Well I recieved the cam today along with a set of new crane lifters.

Here are the specs:

Lobe Separation 110
Intake Centerline 106

Advertised Camshaft Specs:

Intake: 304 Lift .500
Exhaust: 312 Lift .522

Duration @ .050

Intake 239
Exhaust 247

Lobe Lift

Intake: .333
Exhauset: .348

Looks like a custom grind from Crower Cams.

I'm thinking of installing this in place of my Crane HMV272 cam in my 406.

406ci,72cc Eheads ported, performer rpm intake, 750dp holley, 1.65 Crane roller rockers, trw pistons with .990 bbc pins, stock rods, polished, shotpeened with arp bolts, 2 bolt mains, studded.

TH400 with 3:23 stock converter.

What do ya think? Good cam? what can I expect?
