Bought it here on HAMB probably 6 to 8 years ago and cannot find the PM. Crower said they have no record of the grind, and a search of their online catalog turns up nothing. The grind # on the end of the new still in box cam is C 16283. The 16200 series show's a hydraulic grind ant he higher the number the more lift and duration. The highest # they list is 16257 so this seems to be a more performance grind. Any info will really be appreciated. I've already asked on the 332-428 FE Forum with no success. Movin/on
I can't help you, but you may just have to stab it into a mock up motor and measure the profile by hand.
Well, I did take another look at the cam it is an E-16283. Called Crower and got a rep who spent some time looking and found it's a solid lifter cam and gave me the specs.. At the valve intake .595 Exhaust .615, duration @.050 260 intake and 264 exhaust lobe separation 107. Now I've got to wonder how it will perform in a 454 CI ford FE. Movin/on
here is the ad that you bought it from, specs are there too. times like this are the reason we do not want to delete sold ads...

Pretty good lift and duration on a fairly narrow lobe separation should result in good low end torque, but may get weezy on the top end trying to feed that many cubes. Head and manifold flow capabilities will determine the top end response.
