Hi Henry,

Yes, hi-perf parts for the 235 are expensive, and Clifford is at the 
high end of that.
Try Patrick Dykes (http://www.patricksantiquecars.com/chevyparts.htm).
He sells Howard grind cams.
He may not be able to save you much money, but if you discuss what 
you're trying to accomplish with him, he can help make sure you don't 
buy the wrong thing and pay a lot for something you end up being unhappy 
with.

BTW, Patrick is the reason we have the Fenton headers and intakes 
available for the 235.

Also talk with Larrowe & Sons  
(http://prostores1.carrierzone.com/servlet/chevyhotrod6_serrahost_com/StoreFront)

In general, I recommend that you not buy difficult parts directly from a 
website.  Instead, talk to the people at the company.  Most of them are 
old school, and they don't have the inclination or tech savvy to put 
everything they know on the web.  But they do like to be respected and 
appreciated for their contribution to our hobby.  A little bit of 
pleasant conversation, even on the phone, will get you a lot of knowledge.

regards,
Leon
