I guess what I am looking for is advice on what the process would be to offer aftermarket cams for the Duratec V6.

Crower said they could make cams, but they want me to front the $8000 for the tooling required to make the "blanks" and then each grind after that is relativley cheap per cam.

Can I take a company like Crower one of our cams and have them make blanks off of that? These new cams wont be hollow I assume. Are there any drawbacks to not using hollow cams on the Duratec engine?

If the reports I have read about the Mustang eventually getting the 3.0L V6 Duratec as an engine option, then I can see the cam market taking off for us (and just about every other engine internal we can think of). but who wants to wait until 2004 MY for that to happen?
