ODIS,
I've bought several rebuild kits from Chuck over the years for my 348 motors. I was always very pleased with the stuff that I got from him but I have no idea what brand the cams were that came in the kit.
Unfortunately, Chuck passed away this past June. I called to order some parts with-in the past month and learned of his death. I was told that his business was no longer in existance. :cry
Since he was from New Ulm, Minn., I would say to check with Bruce @ Show Cars, they might could help you.

I didn't know that Chuck passed away. I didn't know him personally but I too bought alot of stuff for my 409 from him with no complaints. Looks like I have to remove him from our vendor section on the links page. :(

Odis, I don't know if this will help but here is a copy of the paper that came with my camshaft. This one came from Chuck. I have no idea on what brand it is as I had someone else rebuild it. All I asked for was a stock hi-po cam for the 400hp 409 and this is what he sent.

That looks like a Crane # or Wolivine which was a cheaper brand of crane,I will look to see if i can find my old Books.

You gave me an idea when you mentioned looking through old books Dale. I found a 1995 1/2 Chuck Scharf catalog but it doesn't say the brand of cam. It just says brand new 409 solid lifter camshaft. $140

My best guess without pulling out the huge stack of reciepts :D is that I bought my cam about 1993/94. I think it was $140 then too.

thanks for the replies. i do have the original bill of sale from Chuck. all it says is 348 rebuild kit . and an extra 50.00 for the high performance cam.
the kit did not come with notched pistons.
Thanks
