They must have a good reason for saying no (perhaps it creates another weak(er) link), from my interactions with them, they seemed happy to do custom work, but perhaps thats only as far as "grinds" go...
That said, you you really need it?
On a different note, how many companies make non-stock cams for the small six? I know of clay, comp, and isky...

As for OP, doesn't clay use keyways not dowels? I know they grind them straight up, and need "offset keys".

crower is engineering the nose of a new core cam for sbf application. c/s will not do custom work as they led me to believe. as usual crower "is" a custom cam company. I,ve used them since 1964.

Engle is another company I purchased custom cams from recently a hyd roller for my 460.

Yes, Mr. Iskedarian's son has started to answer the phone more than he now and is very knowledgable - able to guide you in the design & machining of a new custom cam from their 'shop'.

I can't say, but they were the only cam company that I called that:
1)Had an actual human answer the phone ("hello this is Jerry what can we do for you", no press 1 bullshit, the head guy actually answers the phone!)
2)Said human was actually capable of answering questions, without transferring me to a "tech", and we worked out a custom grind for my turbo build. (basically just a wider lobe separation)
I think I will be getting my cam from them...
There is a company, Colt Cams, that are known for their diesel grinds, but they also do a BBF six.
I got a cam regrind for my '96 Chevy LT1 from them. $200.
Might be worth a checking to see if they do a small six cam.
