I have several 426 Hemi roller cams that have never had the lobes ground.I bought them from the dealer many years ago. They are not billet but appear to be regular cast cams. Can you still get these things ground by a cam grinder? Are they usable and are they worth anything?

Yes, yes and Yes. They have use and value to the right person who wants a custom ground cam with specific features like a wide lobe seperation angle. Tim

If my memory serves me correct, I sold one when I first got them for about 100 bucks. How much does it cost for a roller cam already ground and ready to go?

Anywhere from 350-700 depending on who and what grind you are getting. Tim

One of my friends does this all the time. He ground me a copy of the roller came that I wiped out a few years ago. He said the new one is more accurate than the original one because of computerization versus the old school method. They do alot for sprint car engines. Midway Performance in Mt. Carmel, PA.

Is that the same Midway performance that used to have a '53 Corvette M/P car? They also had a store in Milton PA?
