Jim Brierley cam

A friend in Montrose, CO passed away recently. To help the family prepare to move, I bought the workshop contents. Buried in one of the boxes is a Jim Brierley camshaft that was still in its original package and never installed. The markings on the cardboard tube indicate that it is a M-58 grind which my searches show may be a fairly aggressive cam intended for performance versus street manners.

Does anyone have any info on this cam/grind? I hope to sell the cam to someone that can use it. Are there any other sites that might have equal or more interest in this type of cam?
 
My M-58 is a good touring grind for an OHV engine, Miller and others. It is not radical but performs very well, even on hill climbs. Set valves at: In, .010"; Exh at .015"
 
Thanks for your reply. The fellow that passed was Bob Evans (Bullet Bob) from Montrose, Colorado. He passed quite suddenly in early February of this year. I knew him from a Mustang group but often talked about his work with flatheads and he was working on a new two-piece head design at the time of his passing.

Glad to know that google AI was wrong about the cam - as they often are. I'll post it in the swap meet section in a few days.

What was the man's name from Colorado that made a bunch of two-piece Banger heads, ...all on a J-head Bridgeport? I have one of his heads for a future speedster build. I first met him about 20-25 years ago in Texas when he bought a single-stick Hal head from me to copy in alloy. Pretty sure he was a machinist for Boeing at one time. I can see his face but cannot think of his name. Did he by chance make the head that 'Bullet Bob' had??

Which two piece Model A head are you talking about? The two piece Riley F-Head copy or something else?

Jim, How would the M-58 cam work on a flathead? My understanding is the cams for overhead heads have less lift because of the mechanical amplification at the rockers.
