Try contacting I Oregon Cam. IIRC they have an assortment of grinds for the hydraulic slant

Advice would need some help, what is this going in, and what are your plans for the vehicle? How are you going to drive it (strip, street, mixed use, etc)? What else are you going to do besides a cam?

And mostly, how much cylinder pressure does this engine currently make?

I read a couple of articles...want to shave the head , rebuild the engine ,port the head , 2bbl offenhauser intake with a small 2bb carb , headers and a cam...shooting 200 hp approx , but since its an hydraulic cam i dont what the streetable specs could be ! I dont want to have custom pushrods if i shave the head. // streetable car with 4 5 speed and low gears !! In my lightweight challenger, car will be around 2800-2900 pounds or less
