I do not know if anyone is still making those grinds. Cam technology as
progressed quite a bit since then and the newer cams available are better.
Contact Ken Gilanders of British Frame & engine. 818-443-0939 and tell him you
want a flyer for his TR3 & 4 engine parts. You will probably get an answering
machine but he is good about calling back. He sells a selection of better than
factory go fast cams, and all kinds of engine and suspension go fast goodies.

The best I can say is that I have seen a picture of one, and I have seen
Standard Triumph parts lists that include it. I think it was only available for
the TR2s but it may have been available for the small mouth 3 as well.

Seems a little high priced for a project MKI sprite.
