Custom ground cams aren't much more expensive than off-the-shelf grinds. I had a hydraulic flat tappet cam custom ground for my 428, cam and lifters was like $185 through Cam Research. Not sure how much for hydraulic roller, but I doubt it would be much more than 20% more than what you would pay for an off-the-shelf roller cam grind. Be sure whoever grinds it knows FE's, as they have special needs, and a lot of cam grinders these days don't know much about FE's. Keith Craft is an excellent place to get your cam from, as is Cam Research. I bought several parts from each when building my 428, and my experiences with both have been very positive. Good luck with your build, it sounds like you're going to have one fun car when you get done!
