For someone looking for a used Windsor performance roller cam that will idle well, pass emissions, and have some decent low-end torque, the Crane Powermax 2030 is a decent pick. It's listed on eBay for $165 Buy It Now...no bidding.
eBay>Crane 2030 Cam
BTW, no I'm not the seller. I just spotted it while looking for other stuff and thought I'd pass along the buy. Deals on used Crane Powermax cams don't come around often.

Re: Crane Powermax2030 cam on eBay
The seller dropped the price to $135. This is a GREAT deal on a very nice street cam...assuming your heads can handle the relatively high lift of this cam.

Re: Crane Powermax2030 cam on eBay
Cam still not sold and the price is dropped to $125. This is an exceptional deal for someone looking for their performance daily driver.
I did tell the guy I'd love to buy the cam for myself, but it's just not worth $125 TO ME since I already have the Crane 2020 and have no plans for a build after this 331 to use it in. So it'd actually be a shame for me to have it collecting dust in my basement if there's someone else out there that could actually run and enjoy it.

Re: Crane Powermax2030 cam on eBay
There's another Crane Powermax cam on eBay. It's a Powermax2020.
eBay>Crane Powermax2020
It was priced over $200, but has gradually been dropping in price. It was $185 for a while and it appears today it just dropped to $169. My guess is they'll continue to drop the price until it gets a bite. If you want/need one of these, this is a decent price. Anything less than $150, is a great price for one of these...assuming you need a high lift, low RPM/high torque cam. The 2020 is best suited for trucks and people looking for best off-idle performance, but not necessarily high RPM performance.

Re: Crane Powermax2030 cam on eBay
Another one of these cams up on eBay. This one is a:
Crane Powermax 2030. <-click
The best part is, this one is starting at $90. But there doesn't seem to be a Buy-It-Now option. It's a straight-up auction.

Re: Crane Powermax2030 cam on eBay
An interesting find on eBay. It's not a Crane, but a Comp Cam kit. It's an XE258HR-12 with springs AND new Comp hyd lifters!!! Reserve of $350 ain't bad for this kit. If you need a "torque" cam, this is a GREAT find:
