unfortunately, with the 2ltr, the head has to be removed, as the cam comes out the back of the head.

Just weld some extra lumps onto your cam then smooth them down alittle _ you can pick up 2L pinto (i guess its a pinto) parts up pretty cheap over here

....I'm sure in your imagination that works really well, but in reality its a lot more complicated than that.
Budget minimum $300-400 and get the complete head done by someone who knows what they are doing. ie Escort/cylinder head specialist. You can have the lumpiest cam in the world, but if the valves/springs etc aren't up to the job you are wasting your time.
Also, you need to get a cam to suit the use of the car. I have a full on race cam in my RS2000 and its just not suited to a road-car. I've had to seriously de-tune it to make the car driveable in traffic and modify the way I drive. Think about what you want and ask your local expert what the best route to take.
