I'm posting this on behalf of my father-in-law. He's much better with a wrench than a computer.
He is restoring a 63 hawk, with the original 289 engine. The guy rebuilding his engine has told him the original camshaft is unusable as one of the lobes is extremely worn. Now he is searching for another. The builder said he doesn't wan't a re-ground cam. After searching the web along with this site and the studebaker racing site, It appears there isn't much out there for these engines. He is interested in keeping this car as original as possible so he dosen't want a lumpy cam.
What are his options as far as camshafts go? Is a reground the only way to go? Are there other studebaker engines he could get a cam from?
