I just spoke to Roger Vinci on the phone, and he now has product in stock for whatever we need. He did say that Crane's doors are still locked up, however. Just thought I'd share.

 

So who will be grinding their cams for now? at least until crane opens back up...if they do?

 

Roger says he has plenty of stock on hand until Crane opens back up.

 

Good to hear

 

Website????

 

ya i talked to him last week and order my cam and rods there haveing a blowout sale on lsbase valvetrain

 

I just spoke with him today and ordered a Trucker cam (216/224 .551 115), he said that I actually may have gotten the last one for at least six months. (he had three left as of Friday, but no Stangbangers left). He runs the same cam in his own 04 rcsb 5.3...mine will be going in an LQ9 eventually. If Scorpion Performance steps up to the plate and buys Crane by the 22nd of this month, it'll probably take about 6 months to re-structure and get production rolling again. If Scorpion doesn't step in, the company will probably be liquidated by Liqui-Tech. Unfortunately, if Crane does completely dissolve, it seems that it would impact Vinci Performance tremendously, hopefully Roger has a back up plan just in case. I've dealt with Vinci a few times in the past and always received excellent customer service and a great product.

Just a note, I think that he still has some valve spring tools left (the one that does 2 at a time...), I highly recommend this tool for changing valvesprings while the engine is still in the vehicle with the heads on it. I've used just about all of the other tools and this tool surpasses them by leaps and bounds. If I had the cash I'd buy a second one just to have a backup...just in case.
