How much will the rocker arms, springs, valves, etc... cost? I'd be buying these cams if they're $75 each!

I am in the process of looking into setting up a distributor account with Crower. If the prices on their rods are competitive with other manufacturers, then I my as well ask them what I need to do to get cam re-grinds avaiable. I remember in past discussions with them, they always wanted me to bring a set of stock cams to their place. That way they can hook them up to their machine that will measure the cams attributes, and they can accurately see what they have to work with.
I know i posted on here asking if anyone had a set of stock cams to lend to the cause, but I never got any responses. Crower is a short 75 minute drive from my house. If anyone has a stock set of cams they can lend me, then ship them to me, and I will get the ball rolling with Crower.....
Nikolas IIRC, Crower wants a $7,500 minimum order to become a dealer and get wholesale pricing. Thought about it long and hard with a 0% interest for 6 months card application staring up at me. Kinda around the same time the Aussie bar fiasco was going on so I chickened out. Good luck to you Nikolas. BTW, you'll have a PM in a few seconds...

Guys,
the thing is, just about any cam shop can do a cam-regrind to your desired specs (within the phyiscal limits of the core cam of course). I was fortunate enough to pick up an industry magazine that lists manufacturers by the parts they make. I jotted down some companies listed under Cams that are located in SoCal. I will be calling them up today to see what they charge for regrinds, and if they require any rediculous amount for "Buy-In".....
As far as Rods go, I have one company so far that looks promising, and they are cheaper than Crower, and dont require that huge buy in either. I am still waiting for responses on pistons though, and of course cams..... I will keep everyone updated...

Guys, Bad news. I spoke to Piper today. They have made cams for the Duratec, the new Ford 4 pot 2.0 litre is called a Duratec and this is the one in the magazine. All I can do is apologise, it gave no clue in the smal article in the mag. Dman fords in giving the Duratec name to a 4 pot, they'll be calling a diesel a Duratec next. Sorry for getting all your hopes up Paul

Ouch, dude. I don't know what to say now. I'm hurt.  Oh well, I'll live! We'll have to wait and see what happens w/ these regrinds.
