Assuming it's a 283, there are tons of things available. It's just a typical first generation small block. Look around and you will find lots of stuff, including cams, are quite easy to find. 283's are also excellent engines. I have always found them to be quite durable and have plenty of power for anything I have needed.
OldSub hit Submit before me... but he is correct. 350's are a dime a dozen and parts are even cheaper than for a 283. You probably would be better off from a cost perspective to slapping in a 350.
