I have put 2 mild cams in (2 different engines) from NW Import. They
don't do a kit, you buy the parts basically to make your own. I went
with the Duplex timing chain and gears on my '77 engine as well. They
fit in no problem. If you really are dead stock however, from what I
have read you will gain a lot more from a carb change over than from a
CAM...
