I also have a Crane 114132 cam and lifter kit. Also bought before I decided to go retro-roller. New in box. Let me know if you're interested.

The Crane is too small for sure. I will let you know when I decide. I may end up staying with my ZZ4. I currently have a project in the house to finish so it will be a few days before I get to the car.

From the opposite end of the spectrum, how about something like a 280 mega cam with 64 degrees of overlap (single pattern 232/232 on a 108 LSA):

The 108 LSA is a bit tight. My heads and intake (1204 intake gasket) are sort of selected to work up to 6000 RPM. Overlap may a problem, tuningwise. Stock converter and 308 gears may be weak off the line. Truth is, I like weak off the line, keeps tirespin down and its easy on the Dana 36. I'd really like a Hot cam. Good compromise for street/performance. Still kicking ideas around.

Love the way Iskys run,switching from Comp back to Isky myself.
108 I think can be tuned provided its not too big. Hit up Mseven to see what he thinks. The 108 lsa comes on very hard youll feel it when the powerband is there.

don't have any personal experience, but most lifter companies seem to be offering non roller hydraulic lifters with some sort of provision for forced oiling onto the cam lobe face; some extra bucks, but nothing compared to an after market "retro" roller set up.
