I do not believe your cammer engine will perform well with 10:1 compression ratio pistons. This choice seems counterproductive in light of this engine's hemispherical combustion chambers.
Back in the day Crane camshafts were used in many 427 SOHC engines. You do not provide enough information to elicit more concise camshaft information.
Best of luck!

I have been told the cammer engines in general did not all have the compression people thought they did. The actual compression was probably a point or two less than advertised for most engines. So 10.5:1 as a max in my engine is probably not too bad if this is true.
I'm curious what induction can beat the Webers, except for a port efi, I have a hard time imagining something better. Most of my reading is limited to DV and several other authors and a well tuned set of Webers seem like a good idea.
Crane made a lot of cams for the cammer and they are all still available, some of the other cam grinders still have grinds also. their is also a fair supply of new cores, so it should be pretty easy to get a set of cams made. Mostly at his point I am curious what type of duration people generally run with Weber carbs over 4 barrel carbs for high HP street & track motors; but I should probably get my heads fit with valves and flowed so that I have some more info to share.
