ford popular E 93 a( ford 10 )you know those skinney tall ones, flat head side valve, hunted round for a ford model 8 cyl head. found the right one up at albany wreckers (40 years ago now ) as luck would have it there were 2 different styles of ford 8 head. but got the right one in the end. by swapping the heads compression ratio went from 6.5 : 1 to about 8 : 1man, what a power difference

ta BELLKYyeah that's the trouble with reground cams, you lose lotsa base circle and accuracy the black stuff is commonly called parkerizing, it holds oil on the lobe surface for a break in period , you can have the same effect by letting the surface rust ( fine )
