Default Does LME do custom grind cams?

I'll probably end up having LME assemble and balance my motor and was wondering if they did custom grind cams? Of course they're gona do the short block portion of the engine, but the cam I have no idea how to choose the right specs. Wasn't sure to let them do it or have another source do it and just have LME install it. I haven't decided how much assembling/installing will actually take place in my garage or not. I'd do it all myself, but I don't have the machines to do the machining or balancing and it'll be much easier having a shop do it, especially if its something they specialize in.

That's what I meant. I wasn't sure if they just did short blocks or if they could create a cam for my application, goals, etc.? I honestly thought they just did short/long blocks minus the cam. I know picking out specs is very critical. I know I wouldn't be the one to do it.

LME uses Cam Motion for their cam grinds.

As a matter of fact, that name does ring a bell. I think I saw that name here. If I remember correctly, I think they're a pretty popular company/source for cams.

They are capable, best bet would be just to call them and hear it from them.

It's really easy. 3 steps involved

1. tell LME what you want it to do
2. give them money
3. pick it up
