Hi Ron,
    Rich suggested Colin Cambell's book. I've not seen that one.
    For this winter's rebuild of my MGB engine, I followed Peter Burgess'
book,  How to Power Tune MGB Engines.  I found it easy to follow and well
illustrated.  His discussion of camshafts seemed particularly useful. The
engine runs great and offers much more torque in the 2000-3500 rpm range.
It also seems to burn a bit less fuel, though that is subject to further
measurement. 
Bob
