with larger cams you may want to get the titanium valve spring retainers as well

i think crower cams has some for the dohc. However, dont be like the rest of the world and think that what u see online is all they have! For the 460 ford crane has over 200 differant grinds! they only advertise a small handfull of them though because listing that many is pointless since most people really dont know what lift/duration their after anyway. they just know that bigger appears to be better. if you talk to a sales rep. over the phone he will be able to help you select a combo of cams that will work with what you are trying to do.
