The problems described were with a Roller Cam, for a stock 351C I wouldn't go for a Roller. I don't recall anybody recently having problems with a normal flat tappet cam.
The cam Doug posted is the most basic single-pattern comp cams cam they list for a cleveland. Before I would do that, I would go for a stock replacement (I think there are some available from Melling).
But because of his post I remembered the Crane Cam that comes close to GeorgeP suggestions. Crane was bought by Comp Cams and you can order it from there as a special order. The guy that did these "old Crane Stuff" at Comp was Robert Freund.
The grind number is H-278-2 (REPLACES HMV-278-2A), see attachment.

I agree with this. Use a stock CJ cam in a stock CJ. It isn't a bad combination.

I actually went looking on Compcams simply because they have what they describe as "modern" versions of the original classic high performance camshafts.

I see them for a 289hp Ford but not for the CJ Cleveland.
