Default need a new cam

Sent my head to get reconditioned and skimmed as part of the engine rebuild and have been informed my cams knackered and need a new one.

Was hoping this would not be the case as am trying to save for an intercooler at the same time as fund the rebuild. The car is mildly tuned CVH standard head and block running stage 2 T3, magnex and chip.

Can you stil get these from Ford or am I looking after market, if so who from?

Have never used a vernier pulley before but have been considering getting one, how do you set it up on a standard cam profile?
