Technical What would you pay for a 325 hemi cam?

I was watching a cam being auctioned and I nearly fell over when I saw the winning bid. It was a Harmon-Collins roller cam for a 325 Dodge hemi.
Winning bid:
US $765.55
[ 15 bids ]
I thought you could have a cam made for about $400 and regrind $200.
What would you pay?

 

I just watched an old school 241-270, NOS, Isky 3/4 cam & lifters start at 199 and end at 633, my last bid was 623. Apples & Oranges, maybe...................................................

 

A lot less.

 

Since they are almost non existent I would have gladly paid that. New cores are impossible to find

 

Don't know if I'd pay $800 for one, but they are hens teeth. When I took my 325 apart the cam was in good shape so hopefully it can be reground. A new cam would be great but..., as I said they are hens teeth. Still though a Hemi (at least in recent years) has never been cheap. Wouldn't it be nice to build a strong Hemi for the price of a 350 SBC?

Well then check out ebay there are 2 more for sale now. One is ending tonight.

 

Look up Delta cams in Google. Take the video tour, read all the info.
Then give them a call...Ken helped me, he provided me (new) cores for my Ford 406 and my 59A flathead.
They have a stock of cam cores that is remarkable.
Grinding, metal spray service, Parkerizing all done on location. Prices extremely competitive.
Solid & hydraulic lifters available...Had my mechanical 406 lifters on the shelf.
I asked about cams for my 354 Chrysler and 276 Desoto Hemis. "No problem..."

 

Thanks a lot Mike.
