How long of a wait is it after you get all your info to Bullet until you get your cam? Do they manufacture their own lifters? Giving some serious thought to giving them a call for my cam upgrade.
Thanks for the info and great job on your build! I've got a 69 dart that was purchased new by my father and I've got very fond memories of us working on it through the 80s and 90s. Your son would be proud of what you've done in his honor!
To add to this, I used an Erson custom grind in my blue Cutlass I shared photos of...It was a giant pile of ****. So, do your research and make sure you are comfortable with the compay. I gave essential the same type information for my 350 Rocket, and I think they must have sent me someone else's cam because that one was a turd. it came out and went with a different company.Also, don't forget there are others out there doing custom cams. I have posted them so many times, but it's worth reposting here again, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.

There are more, but you get the idea. This I do know.
The first SIX I listed design, develop and grind their own lobes. The other three having working relationships with Comp and some of the others mentioned here, and they get you a custom cam from the suppliers.
I also know that Racer Brown, Cam Motion, Jones and Controlled Induction DO NOT HAVE CAMS ON THE SHELF. They grind everything to order. I think Bullet has some shelf grinds for circle jerk stuff but most everything else is custom ground. Also, the guys at Erson and Howard's are now doing custom stuff.
So for just the few I've named here, there is NEVER a reason to buy an off the shelf cam.
Lead times are generally 3 days to 10 business days. I have never had to wait more than 10 days for a cam.

How long ago did you buy the Erson??? It is owned by a new company. I should have stated my main three go to cam grinders are RB, CM and Jones. If I don't like what I hear, go to Controlled Induction.
I have not used some of who I posted. I still like Isky, in they way they think.
My go to is what I said.
Again, I only buy from companies
It's been 8 or so years I think I mentioned I had never used a custom grind before but I had...for the blue Cutty I attached photos of...
That cam was pulled...given away and put a performer rpm cam in it and ran like crazy.
I was super skeptical of Bullet due my Erson experience but I love Bullet...great class A company.
