Camshafts for the 288cu & 327cu...

Hi all,

I will be having a 288 and a 327 (both "H" engines) engine(s) rebuilt. I know that there was a thread somewhere from a man who was asking about casmshafts. ...I can't recall which engines. But I can't find the thread.

Anyway, the user was talking about re-using the cams, and asked if there were any alternatives. I talked to Max Merrit, and they only have regrinds, and that they would have to order. Are there any other sources out there for camshafts?

I'm a little unsure about how regrinds work. If they "regrind it" to smooth out the lobes, wouldn't you loose lift and duration? I think that I understand that they would grind the base circle, so would this would make the lobe the same lift/duration relative to the base circle.

I'm just wondering what my options are, and which is preferable. ...re-use, re-grind or are there any NOS cams out there?

Thanks,

Mark
