Their prices are often the best around. As for the camshaft, if you're using hydraulic lifters then the cam from the 1959 235 will be your best bet. The 235 in 1959 until the end of production had its torque peak at 2000 rpm...about the equivalent of the Vette 235. If you're going with solid lifters, some like the Elgin or Melling camshaft which is about the same grind as as the Vette. Elgin's number is E-293-S and Melling's is CCS-1 as I recall.
