Do you have any other flathead cams? The 8CM is nice, but not the only option. I helped a friend rebuild the engine from his grandparent's 50 Merc a couple years ago. The 8CM cam was too far gone to put back in. We installed a good looking EAB cam (the rest of the motor is stock 50 Merc) and the motor runs great. For truck use any stock flathead cam in good condition will work great.
