Who runs a Crane 210/210 @.050 cam? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone using a Crane 210 single pattern with the .440 lift? If so, how so you like it?

havent run one..but thats what I wouild consider a "RV" cam..very mild..good torque down low..probably a smooth idle with atleast 19 inches of vacuum

That's the Crane Energizer 266. I have one in my Jimmy. It is an awesome truck cam. Pulls to about 4500 rpm. I plan on running the same cam in my 427. It is very well suited to the gear spread in an SM465.

I agree, I am running that cam in my 350 w/headers and Edelbrock 600 and RPM intake. Good Idle, plenty of vaccum and pulls to my tach limit lol 5000. I run 3.07 gears and they like that cam...

In my 383, it's a pretty mild cam, but will pull like crazy from idle to 4500. After driving with it for a while, I retarded it 4 degrees to shift the power curve upwards a couple hundred rpm, and added 1.6 rockers. The idle got a little lopey, and the peak revs increased from 4900 to 5100. Of course, in your shorter stroke 350 it would probably have these same characteristics installed straight up with 1.5 rockers. I think it would be a great daily driver cam in a 350 with 9:0 CR. If you have stock heads and/or exhaust manifolds, I would get a cam with more exhaust duration, like Crane's 210/216 PowerMax.
