[Amc-list] regrinding 196 cam?

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

while im messin with cams... i decided to yank the cam out of the 196 i tore out of my 63 american. it really looks GREAT. very very little wear. if any at all actually. 

anyway, was wondering if anyone knows if you can send them in to comp/crane for a regrind?? i think they can be shaved down. being they are solid lifters? if it can be reground, what might be a good grind # for it to be a little peppier? ya, i know, that long stroke not going to get alot, but maybe make it for more torque, and a little more hp. cant really hurt. now that i got a 2bbl intake plate to use on one of the 196's i have, could maybe be worth it? 

if i was to get it reground and all, is there a way to get that cam changed while IN the car? them lifters come out from the bottom, so how would a guy do it in the car? was easy for this motor, had it on the engine stand, flipped it over, pushed the lifters up, er, down, er to the top of the block... lol. and pulled it out. how would it happen in the car? or CAN it even  happen in the car? thats gay if it cant....
