Is the cam on a 1960 tri power engine different than a 4 bbl cam?

Anyone ever get a new one?  Are they available?  Custom grind?

Thanks,

I believe they are the same.

I found my master parts book and it says that 58-60 are all the same.  I thought I read in some sales literature that the tri power engines have a different cam, but I could be mistaken.

So in theory, a tri power engine is the same as a standard engine except for the intake and distributor?
