Does any company sell new 7.3 camshafts?
 

Rebuilt my 7.3 .... machine work is done bottom end is assembled except for the camshaft my camshaft was pretty chewed up big chunks out of a couple lobes from a piece of piston skirt taking rollers off a couple lifters and exc... talked to more than a couple ford dealerships just to be sure but i was told the 7.3 cam was no longer on backorder but was discontinued? is my only option to locate a good used cam? Called Gearhead a couple days ago and they were better than a month out already on regrinds if i had a good core to send which i don't. Everything else on this rebuild is new other than connecting rods and crank i am not wanting to put someone elses junk in my rebuilt motor PLEASE SOMEONE !!

Well Wide Open Performance (WOP) did make them new on a performance grind but they were just sold so who knows. I think I can still get them thru IH but havent ever had the need to check. Another option would be to do a regrind on yours to a performance spec and get longer push rods to accommodate that. Its what we do when we build 466's for sled pull tractors

Thanks for the info. I checked with local IH dealer they were UNHELPFUL but will prolly check with another ih dealer that has better customer service. swapped in a different running 7.3 to get the truck back on the road. Gonna build my machined engine with different parts now to get more power. will probly have a cam ground now that i have the time to build it
thanks for yer help

colt cams makes them
