Old Crower Cam Card

[Elvad]

I had a cam in my old 440 Dart that was Crower part number HR-203 and I am looking for an old cam card. I contacted Crower but their records from the eighties were all destroyed in a fire and they don't know what the cam specs were. I am trying to find the specs to have one made. Thanks

Is this the old .525 lift 32203 grind single bolt hydraulic?

 

[Elvad]

Yes .525 320

It was a hydraulic lifter cam and all I remember is that it was 525 lift 320 duration. We ran a Torker II with a factory Holley 600 vacuum secondary after the 4150 750 we got flooded the engine so bad you couldn't see the cars behind us. We tossed the old factory 600 on just to run it, and the car became an animal. It was a 69 Dart GTS. It had an old, loose, 3:23 sure grip in it. We took a 1970 (440) New Yorker motor with 75,000 miles on it (in 1980) added the Crower HR-203, a double roller chain and gears, a high volume oil pump, a Fairbanks 2500 stall convertor, the Hooker Super Comp 1 7/8" x 40" fenderwell headers the car came with and it became a legend. It was a little slow off the line but at around 2000+/60 mph it ate everybody for lunch. We never lost a race and we never went to a bigger carburetor. We used to race bikes. OK the GPZ 550 would have had us from the line, but from 40 mph, he didn't gain more than a car length in the 1/4! Anyway, yeah 525/320 any info?? Thanks

That must have been before 1989?
I have a 1989 printing of the Crower catalog and it does not show that cam, but most of the 3220x (23205 through 32208) are the HI-DRAULIC HAULER series of cams. these appear to all have a 108 lobe seperation angle, and split intake/exhaust duration where the exhaust is about 12 degrees (0.050" duration numbers) larger than the intake.

After posting above, I though I had an older catalog and luck would have it it was pretty easy to find. I think this was a 1979 printing.

Thanks! Do you see any part numbers with an HR- prefix? That is the number that was on the end of the camshaft, HR-203. Thanks again.

after looking at these replys it brings back memories. i used to run a 201hj in my 383 road runner. that may have been the best general purpose cam i ever used. too bad crower doesn't make them anymore.

The cam I have has the part number on the front and has 205 HDP on the back...
