jgkurz Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi Folks, I am working on a friends 283ci Chev in his 64 Nova and cannot remember the cam I put in it around 1992. I think it's a Crane Fireball. My Crane catalogs end at 1986. The Fireball series came out sometime afterward. The cam was broken in but the car was never driven. Now that we are restoring the car I have gut feeling that I put WAY too big of a cam in given the quality of the heads and compression. Let's just say I have a bit more wisdom about engines than I did 17 years ago... Does anyone of a Crane catalog circa 1992 that has the Fireball Hydraulic series for a small block Chevy? Side note: Crane is out of business so there is no pertinent information on the internet that I could find using Google or Bing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted June 20, 2009 Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2009 John, Several grinds were available in the "Fireball" series. Do you by chance have the part number or any other identifying information? If so , I'll try to dig up my old 1994-5 CRANE catalog, if I can still find it..

No rush on the catalog, but if you find it it I'd be greatful for a copy of the SBC hydraulic page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Vann Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hi Gentlemen, I was wondering how I could find a fireball cam like the crowd had in the cars back in the day when I was young? It would be put in a 2008 Chevy 1500 5.37L V-8??? Please tell me if it's possible and where do I order one and what do I ask for so I could hire a mechanic to install it. Thank you guys, can you email me info at: (lisa.vann.obx@gmail.com ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
