Looking in an old Clevite engine parts catalog, their specs for the 1989 302HO replacement cam are a little different than what you found.
Part number 229-1774, “SAE” duration 297/279(might be typo?), 210/210@.050, .278/.278 lobe lift, 116ICL/115ECL.
Isky 262h. The expected delivery date just keeps moving out farther and farther.

Ford lists this cam as 276/266 on a 116 lsa. I’ll remeasure it at .006” lifter rise because I can’t remember what I got last time I measured it
There are no billets.

Thank Joe for "fixing" the economy.

If you are waiting for a president to fix the economy you are way behind on "Economics 101" :)
