In need of a camshaft for a 360 LA engine. Looking for a mechanical flat tappet in the .570-.600ish lift range. Any idea who may be the best bet to have something like that in stock or could get it fairly quickly? Most of the places I looked online says out of stock or Est ship dates in Jun/Jul or even later. I know it's the time we live in now, but was hoping to find something a little quicker.

My usual deal is to pick lobes from the Engle catalog, call them and order.
They were always pretty quick to arrive, but that may have changed in this current world.

Try Howard’s.
They make one I am using 565 lift, 260/264@ 50 on a 106. Ran real good in my 360. 118-119 at 3320, 10 to 1 compression
It’s 602 lift with 1.6’s

For whatever reason....... cam core availability for the SBM has been pretty poor for quite a while.
Both for rollers and flat tappet.

Just call around to the various cam grinders who would have a profile you’re interested in, and see if they have a core on hand.

problem with only specifying lift is that leaves alot of variables. here are two cams in stock that are similar lift and completely different profiles.
drag race, 105 LSA, and alot of durations @ .050

here is one that slightly less lift, shorter duration, wider LSA and probably a pretty sweet hot street cam.

Howards, I just got a "out of stock" BBM solid lifter. Took about a week.
