Mopar Performance used to sell a duplicate grind of the Super Commando/Magnum/TNT cam. Following info from 2005 catalog: part # P4452783 Duration 268/284 overlap 46 degrees lift .450/.458 The Numbers all match what is listed in the 1970 Chrysler FSM. I'm pretty sure that the grind is the same for earlier years, but am not sure of later years due to more stringent emission regulations required by the Clean Air Act.

I bought a restoration cam kit from Mopar Performance for my 1969 383 Roadrunner 335hp engine a while back, but I might go with a brand new cam to take advantage of 37 years of technological development.....

You can also try Comp Cams, they havea bit more modern design version of the Magnum cam. We used one in a customers car & it was a nice cam. Specs just a bit different from the factory....C/L was just a bit lower & the lift was a bit more. Duration was about the same. I can't find it right now online since they re-did their website.
I'd shy away from the MP cams nowadays. A bunch of bad ones out there including me. Although the resto cam I used last was okay, the one before it had #1 lobe go flat.
unless you want it to be original i second the motion for a modern profile.the comp xe 262 is a good stock grind for stock converter and 3.23 gears.in a 383 i would probably run the xe256 in a heavy car.
