looking for a 229-1900 Chrysler cam

My father in law has a Chrysler 318 in his CC boat. After reading about the Clevite cam in a few of Reid's post we started looking for one through various places with no luck. Anyone have or know someone who has one that they will part with? Dave.

Yes it is.

It's not a standard grind cam, from what I've read & looked at the spec's its like a 340 Hi-po cam but cut reverse.

Dave,
There has to be one out there somewhere!! Just in case there isn't, I do know that with real old engine restorations that the cams are built back up by welding and then re ground. Finding a shop to do it would be the next big problem!

Reid I gave some thought to having one reground, But I'd still have to find a core so the engine would not be down long. the adjustable rockers would not be a problem & I also thought about using a 1.6 rocker to pick up some more valve lift. I'm a Big mopar lover so naturally I know most of the standard rotation stuff well. Luckily somewhere down the line someone swapped in a freshwater system so Aluminum heads & intake are probably in it's future.Here is the type of stuff I mess with. It's a R3 block with W9 heads.

Dave your hot stuff. haha. R3 block and w9 heads damn even roller cam bearings. Im thinking about throwing a 408 stroker in my dads 70 cuda with some w2 iron heads and see what I can do with it looks like you know your mopar stuff and have probably heard of racer brown.

Since your big on the standard rotation stuff you could always send your tranny for the boat to eric and have him switch it to a standard rotation.

Yummy, thats weird how it only has the counter weights on the ends. I have a 99 dakota R/T that I want to do a twin turbo 408 project on eventually instead of doing it to an older car. What year is the challenger? I would imagine you would have to throw some pretty beefy sub frame connectors and torque boxes under that being a drop top to keep that TT motor from twisting it in half ha.

Nice I didnt notice that. Thats how the turbo 2.2/2.5 chrysler motors are.

Nice dave Id like to have one of those. I have a 88 csx-t and a turbo 4 door 90 shadow.

Reid, All I ever see is the standard listed on E bay,

Dave,
You must be living right!! I've found one of the 340-275 rev rot cams and will have it in the next few days, after which I'll forward it on to you. Best thing is, it did come thru Ebay though not directly, so the price is RIGHT! Please send me an email to "reidp@bellsouth.net" with your info, or you can just call if you like, 704-451-5080, and I'll fill you in on the details. Now start looking for those "X" or "J" heads. Wait, didn't this conversation happen with Phats some time ago.

EDIT: In regards to the cam listed, Marysville Marine, the main vintage Chrysler source, shows that as the standard 318 rev rot cam. Furthermore, they don't show any higher perf spec ever being available directly from Chrysler. So I guess they all came thru the aftermarket providers, i.e., Clevite, Melling, Wolverine, SpeedPro. Ironically, all of these suppliers show the same spec(s) for the cam we're searching for from Clevite (229-1900), as well as identical specs for Ford and GM cams. Then I was informed that a company called Camshaft Machinery Inc, cut the cams for everyone.    

Here are the auto specs for the 340 cam
Duration @ .50 lift: 209/220
Duration @ .06/Rocker Ratio lift: 279/289
Gross Valve Lift: .429/.444
The hi-po marine cam does have the same specs.
