Check out Crower cams for SOHC. But you need more than just a cam to make it work. Valve train upgrade, increased compression to utilize the cam, tuning, just to name a few.

Make sure you know what motor that really is....don't want to buy the wrong cam...lol

Yeah, you'll probably need new valve springs/retainers too....and some tuning, to get full use from cams...

If you are planning on putting in a cam, you should research if you need to increase your compression to turn the cam and also where the cam starts making power, I know I just put a set into my b18 and they were only making power for 500rpm before I hit rev limiter so was not worth the investment
