I have a Crane SSH-310-NC Camshaft and was wondering what the P1350 stamp meant. Is it a date code?



Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You very much.

WOW. Thats pretty cool. I have a current catalog and I dont even think that is in there.

Serial number??

Similar to the one shown on the Bullet cam here...

I think Chase Knight comes in here from time to time. He will be able to decode those numbers for you. Probably something simple and unnecessary, like identification of the core supplier . . . . .

Looks like theres more under the P1350.
Can you read it?

Hi Mike,
I am unable to read the stamp under the P1350.

Paul, that chart is exactly what I was looking for. Thank You very much.

glad to help where I can.
btw that used to be a rather popular cam choice and Ive used it in several 383 builds in the past with good results, generally matched to about a 10:1 compression ratio
,better than stock valve springs, rhoads lifters,
and a dual plane intake with a 750 cfm vacume secondary holley
usually in camaros or novas with a manual transmission and 3.54:1-4.11:1 rear gears

Hi Paul,
The cam is new and it is installed in a 1965 Corvette L76. I am going to remove the Crane Cam and install it in my 383 build.
Your advice was just what I needed to confirm my plans for the 383 build.
Thank You very much. I really appreciate it.

The P1350 is a serial number, indicating the camshaft was ground in 1972. Regards, Chase

Hi Chase,
How do you determine the date on a Crane Cam?
Thank You for the information.

Prior to the early 1980's, it's by the serial number, cross-referenced to our log books. After that, each cam has a stamped code with the engine prefix (11 for small block Chev) the week of the year that it was ground, and then the year itself. i.e 11-42-90 = small block Chev cam produced the 42 week of 1990. Regards, Chase
