Looking for stock HO or mild aftermarket cam

So what are you guys setting on??? 

Looking for something like a Crane 2020, Comp 35-308-8(266HR), etc possibly even stock HO... Not for the Bird, is for the Pro Comp headed 306 that's going into my '72 Comet...

For the right aftermarket cam, I have a new(installed but never ran) Wolverine 1087 I'll swap(kinda lumpy, mass air or carb only)... I don't have specs handy but are between the Trick Flow Stage-1 & Stage-2 cams, should be able to find them online easy enough...

I think I have a Wolverine (Blue Racer, is what it is exactly, if I remember) that I'd like to use. It says on the box for mass air, manual trans cars only.

It's what I plan to use on the "50 dollar" 5.0 I bought last summer..of course, it's hard to beat an HO cam too.
'98 Explorer 5.0
'20 Malibu (I know, Chevy, but, 35MPG. Let's go brandon, eh)

I have a stock HO cam I bought, but never used. It would cost as much to ship as it is worth though. Coming to Florida any time soon?

Could you post the marking on that cam, and specs if you have them??? I'd like to be absoultly sure that's what I have actually is(seems to be from I-net search)...

The guy I got the 306 from said it had a E-brock Performer cam in it, but I've found apparently he paid for more than he got... Still the Blue Racer cam is a fairly bad ass piece, guess they figured he'd never know the difference... Since he never ran the engine, was no doubt true...

If you can get the Comp 35-308-8. I've got one in my Thunderbird and it works great on the street.
88 Thunderbird LX: 306, Edelbrock Performer heads, Comp 266HR cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, bunch of other stuff.

Yeah but I'll have to buy both... I'd prefer just to buy a cam that has more lift and use the Crane 1.6 RR I already have...
