In fact I have a pair of these cams right now and they have NOT been used and are made for a Mark-4 block. I paid about $250 each for these cams. I will sell them to you for $230 each if you like. Otherwise, I believe at least one good person to consult would be "rmbuilder" aka Bob Madara concerning cam selection.
Thanks Kamma but I'm not going to upgrading the whole valve train to roller. Would cost to much for gains I could not use.

Thanks for the vote of confidence on my drives... Hopefully I can baby them a bit and make them last for a season or 2. Is more rpm really the ticket?

Go roller, it is cheaper in the long run. If you go flat tappet you will be replacing them soon.
