There are several of them on Ebay, with an average cost of around $200.00, plus lifters. This one has almost exactly the intake valve timing and lift of the 261 cam, and slightly more duration on the exhaust valve- - - -resulting in better scavenging of the cylinder without an objectionably rough idle lope. The exact clone of the 261 cam, the E-293S made by Elgin may or may not be back on the market- - - -not sure about that one! Just a heads-up for anyone wanting to give their 235 or 261 a little extra grunt where it will do some good- - - -at low to midrange RPM. Most of the radical cams that are available only add power at RPM ranges most street engines never see, and they actually produce LESS low speed and midrange power. Jerry
