Listers - Help!  My engine rebuild project (1977 MGB) has stalled for lack
of a camshaft.  Anyone out there with an unused:  Crane 342-0010, Moss
222-270, Kent 714, Piper BBP270, or APT VP11 - please contact me off list.
 Also, I wonder if any of the gurus on this list can educate a dumbo like me
as to why a new stock grind MGB camshaft retails for under $200 while the
mild performance grind units are over $400?  Maybe the grinding stones are
special for these units?  And why are they bundled with springs, retainers,
etc which are not demanded for stock grinds?  And, for that matter, why is
an 8 lobe MGB camshaft priced at over twice the cost of a
16 lobe American V8 unit?  Any sensible answers to these questions would be
highly appreciated.
