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.

FWIW, back in 2009, I pulled the unknown camshaft out of my engine when I was in the process of installing Edelbrock aluminum heads I purchase from Ohio George Montgomery at his speed shop here in Dayton, Ohio. The cam I pulled out was the same Crane H-278-2. Figuring I may need a different cam given the increase in compression, I went back to George for his advice; he was aware of my 1972 Pantera application. Not sure what to recommend, George immediately got on the phone and called his buddy, Mr. Crane, who recommended I stick the Crane cam back in the engine since the cam was design for sporty street use especially with the higher compression I was going to get with the new heads. The engine is healthy and still going strong. Anyway, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it…

Note that George ran Crane Cams in his gasser.
