235 motor with solid lifters looking to put in a slight performance cam. Anyone have a source?

12 Bolt Tom took over most of Tom Langdon's items including the "Corvette" cam that Langdon sold. See if this meets your needs https://www.12bolt.com/store/p546/23..._Camshaft.html

He also has another slightly different Bulldog cam.

Thanks that might work!

My buddy used to haul loads of used Chevy cams to Delta Cams in Tacoma to trade for reground cams. I forget how many cores he traded for a reground cam but he was pretty happy with the deal he had. https://deltacam.com/ They also resurface lifters. That might be an option if other avenues don't work out.

I found a listing for Isky cams but can't be positive that they are for a 235 after I plugged 235 into the search

Heres an update on my cam search. 12 bolt is out of stock for 6 months so I sent the stock cam to him for a regrind. The cam was packed inside a pvc pipe that was double packed inside another pvc pipe and fed ex broke it into 3 pieces. So now I need a new cam that is either a 235 corvette grind or a 261 cam or a cam that can be reground to these specs. Anyone have a lead on a 235 cam???? EDIT howards cams says they have blanks and will grind to my specs. They wont sell to me but need to go thru a dealer. Summit and jegs are listed as dealers so I'll try that

YOu might ask Howard Cams who their dealer closest to you is.
