I have a friend building a flathead Cadillac and he is having a difficult time finding a cam and lifters.
Does anyone know of a source?

Thanks, Don

Maybe call these people for starters:

Talk to the cam companys about getting the stock cam reground or finding another if it is shot.  Also guys who is the company that has all of ther engine parts for older engines, I was thinking it was Egg or something like that, but I can't find it

Look up the people who restore WW 2 tanks. Flat head cadillac were used in them.

Crane Cams can help you out. This is from their website.
Hope it helps you.

Crane - For All Your Camshaft Needs

At Crane Cams, we keep several hundred different types of semi-finished cam cores in our inventory ready to be precision ground to fit your needs. We can grind brand new cams for virtually any popular engine. But what happens when your engine is rare, or a cam core is just not available? This can make it tough to build a performance engine (not to mention rebuild a stock engine). Don't worry - we can regrind our original camshaft or even make a new billet "round lobe" when the core is not available for your specific engine. Some of the more interesting engines that we have recently manufactured or remanufactured cams for include:
* Talbot Darraq DOHC 1500cc inline 8 cylinder (1930's era Gran Prix
car)
* Allis Chalmers 6 cylinder diesel 2 stroke (exhaust has valves and is
cam driven)
* 1930 Cadillac 495ci V-16
* 1911 Stearns Flathead 4 cylinder
* 2004 GM DOHC 3.7L 4 valve V-6
* 1908 'Silent" Northern touring car opposed 2 cylinder
* Briggs and Stratton 10 hp 1 cylinder
* Suzuki 1.0L SOHC 3 cylinder marine outboard (supercharged)
* Ford Windsor Flathead conversion
* 1930 Cadillac V-12 hydraulic roller (original hydraulic roller
engine)
Crane's performance lobe designs can be used to benefit any engine, even if new cam core is not currently available.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.

In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230

Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.
