Crane # 119661 230 /238 (expensive)
http://www.cranecams.com/product/car...detail&p=24188
Oldy but goodie

NB
these are OEM style cams; the same grind is usually available in a retro fit style if you don't have a roller block .They have less duration than your present cam but way more lift
You have the rear gears to make a big cam work but might need a spring upgrade on heads for the bigger lift if you fit these cams
With a 750DP / Vic Jnr , my identical to yours 383 comb
dynoed 410RWHP with the 847 cam.
