Bob, hopefully this post has lost steam

I talked to Jack Moore(Moore&Moore) over the weekend at the Columbus swap met. He said, he actually ran as good if not better with an old profile cam(R296) in his 572incher.

I still run a 70's Crane it's been in my last 3 motors. I think maybe that the rate of lift in the older grinds was much more severe at lower lifts and could have caused the valve clearance problems.

IMPORTANT!
Crane Cams continuously improves and upgrades its cam designs. In some cases this may mean that two
Crane Cams with the same part number may actually be different grinds. You must check the GRIND
NUMBER stamped on the front of the camshaft and check it against the Grind Number near the top of the
Spec Card.

That looks real close to my cam specs..Matter of fact overlap is the same..Its the diff between 110 vs 112 LSA...
I recall the youtube video of the Duster...and wow it sounds killer..

Fred is that the cam we put in your 588"?

yes not just same grind it was same cam and it was in the 484 " motor when I bought the car back in 1997 then used in the 572 and now your 588" [/quot

Keep in mind Fred you are using Indy Legend heads with the moved exhaust angle and don't have the clearence problem.
