Camshaft in the engine i am rebuilding is missing the tips of three lobes. The machine shop says to buy a new camshaft but can't seem to find one. Called local ford dealerships and all said the 2002 7.3 camshaft is on backorder and can't give me a close estimate on when i would receive it if i ordered the thing today.... Searched and called websites and diesel performance shops and the best i was told was to send my old camshaft to them and they would (weld and regrind it) cost more than the factory camshaft. Anyone know where to buy a stock camshaft? Thanks for any help

 

Here is a link to a place that has cams, although not stock

Colt Cams has a stage 1 and 2 grind for the 7.3's. we did a stage 2 in a truck here and it made a big difference on the bottom end

 

Thanks for the info. I was trying to find a stock cam since i just had the heads reworked all new valves, seats, springs exc... Most of the regrinds seem to want upgraded valve springs for minimum requirement but it seems to be the only option other than getting a used cam (also don't have a usable core) thanks for the help
