acquired a Crane Cam for an 8ba style motor and was wondering if any body knew about it and the specs. Crane 388 is stamped in the end

I have a Crane NOS kit for a flathead but can’t remember the number. I will check in the morning if it’s a 388. If so I can copy cam card for you. Cheers.

Measure the lift, that takes about 10 seconds with a digital caliper then if it's 330 or less it a short duration cam 350 mediun 375 or more long duration. this isn't 100%, but will givr you some idea what you have

My Crane flathead cam is a 353-2
See attached timing card.

Maybe the "388" is the lift. According to "Ol' Ron"'s criteria, that should make it pretty wild.
