Had one done about 1984! My experience is not too timely, I am afraid!

I bought a used motor on craigslist with a cam reground by crane that i threw into my current motor. Its an H-320 regrind. I have also have another camcard listed as H-250 from crane.

My Crane was an H290. My knowledge of carb tuning for engine mods is minimal and the head was largely stock. I think with some good port work, she would really pull.

I just watched an episode of Wheeler Dealers where they had a 240 Z Cam reground. Seemed like a crude process including straightening it somewhat by hand... with hammers...But the results were good. Always heard about this and wondered.

Cam has great drive ability. Has a very choppy idle.
