Post 427 FE Big Block Cam issues

Hello every one "I just purchased a1968 "S" code coupe the original engine had been pulled is in my posesion ,the car came with a 1964 427cid with ElderBrock RPM heads 850 SpeedDemon it rocks because of the fireing order ,15426378 if you did not notice the drivers side of the engine has all four cylinders lit while only 2 cylnders are lit on the passengers side with this fireing order, example DR side 1423 Pass side are fired then 5 and 6 then cylinder number 7 and 8 hit right behind each other'this give the 427 a nice cackle and thump while raising RPMs,
My Question is do they make a FE camshaft with a more even fireing order like a 351?? don't get me twisted this mill will rev 6800 thru the gears so it all sounds good but a 351 fireing order would smooth everything out"
