When building an HP motor several have put cams from a different Ford model. One for the exhaust and one for the intake.
See Dennis R engine build up.

I am getting a set of crower stage 3 cams from a friend for $100 bucks. He is getting better camsfor his 03 cobra. Think they may be a little much for the marauder. But the price is right.
The only problem with 'Bolting' cams in is you run the risk of them not being degreed properly.
A cam swap is best done by a pro engine builder, when the engine is out of the car.

Their camshaft? You mean their camSHAFTS. This is a 4 valve-dual overhead camshaft engine, and changing the FOUR cams is a pretty pricey thing to do :D

I had a special grind S/C Crower cams put in my car with the built motor. It was done by Al Papitto of Boss 330 racing engines, a professional engine builder. They work great wth my application. Like Zack said, have a pro install and degree them.
