Elgin Cams

[Bigun426]

My 440 was purchased from a builder who used a Elgin cam. In the cam grinding world where does Elgin stand compaired to the big names?

Are you sure you don't mean Engle cam?

Never heard of Elgin Cams but I am no experts on all cam companys out there. 

I bet its an Engle cam and if it is, your a lucky man be happy, as they make some of the best cams available for a 440 ci Mopar!  



OK, I just did a google search and yes there is company making "Elgin Camshafts" which I have 0 knowledge on  but others here will help you out I'm sure (and best of luck with your new 440 engine).

No, there is an Elgin Cams.  I don't know much about them but I do know they exist, or did at least.

Yes your right Ghoste, they certainly still do and here is some additional great informational reading from Elgin's website on its founding father, theirs camshafts, compression, heads, etc., etc:

The company from its website seems to know their stuff and pretty impressive website (so that's a start in the right direction).

Elgin has been around FOR EVER. I always considered them 'the rebuilders choice'. I had no idea they did so much custom work. I'm not sure I'd use them for a Mopar, since there are so many other companies with great cams as well as custom grinders-but if I had an Abarth Simca that needed a cam I may give them a call.
