S&S owns Crane, no secret.
When on the phone with S&S the other day, I was told that by the end of 2014, almost all the Crane grinds will be moth-balled.
The 296-2 will remain, and I was requesting to keep the 300 in both Evo, and T/C application.
Time will tell, as it always does.

I heard S&S is selling off Crane. Maybe that's why. Crane will just be automotive after the sale.

I heard it has already been sold off. The new owner is suppose to be the Comp Group.

Only the automotive side. Scott's right they have been planning to get rid of what they feel are competing products to the S&S grinds, some will stay but they see no need to carry both the 290 and the 570....etc...

I ran the 296-2 in my 117..Just a tic noisy, but an almost flat torque curve..great cam

Same cam that Edelbrock used in their 95" kits.
That one does have a sewing machine noise.

Crane was sold to Comp cams. I was able to talk with them at a recent trade show. It turns out that S&S did not buy Crane but one of the S&S owners did. He sold Crane to Comp group but kept the rights to some of the HD motorcycle stuff. Those exact things were not discussed so I cannot answer that. Then he sold those rights he kept to S&S. Pete Amenda who was the head guy for the Crane area at S&S is now move on to Kuryakyn, so IMHO it looks as though that area is just being shut down and blended into the normal S&S.
