If you cannot find the original Ford specs for the cam try Comp Cams or Crane Cams. One or both is making what they call Muscle Car Cams for the hotter engines of the 60's and 70's. For many popular engines these are off the shelf cams but for the FE Ford they might have to make one up to that specs. Other than a NOS Ford cam that's your option. You sure don't want to install a used cam no matter what it is or where it came from.
