Berry Cam Service

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by 1927graham, Dec 28, 2013.

  1. I'm having a cam ground for my Buick Nailhead by Berry Cam Service, Lester Prairie, MN. Don't know much about these folks but they have been grinding cams since 1958, for about everything.

    I guess its a little too late to ask about them after you have contracted them. Never heard of them. Is there a problem?

  7. My engine builder, Ray Funk, Mankato, MN is having them do a cam for us. They seem to be well thought of around MN. Just wanted to hear what others think.

    Berry Cam does great work!

    They have perfected a "spray weld" to repair flat lobes. They have done stock grinds for me but can do custom grinds to your specs.

    You have no worries!??
     
  12. Looking forward to getting the Berry Cam so Ray can complete this engine, my first Nailhead. 2014 will be a great year with my new Model A. Life is good for old hot rodders!

    Very well known in Minnesota and Wisconsin. They can also keep a secret.
     
  15. i went by Ray's shop late Sunday afternoon to see if i could snoop around....no one there
     
  16. Back in the 60's and early 70's I used Berry cams in my race car, great power, great service. He had some good cams for short track use, lots of torque coming off the corners. I did'nt know they where still in business. I'll keep them in mind on my next project. It's good, some things never change.

    I drove to meet them once about 15 years ago. You walk in and see the usual number of late model engines, then look around and see things you never knew existed. The ground me a Y block cam that had a mid range than was unbelievable. Good people and good prices.
