Camshaft Interchange

I am trying to find a new camshaft for a 1958 352 that I am installing in a 1960 Thunderbird. JC Whitney sells a camshaft/lifter kit for 1964 - 1976 FE engines at a reasonable price. I know that the camshaft retension system changed in 1963 from the thrust button to the thrust plate. As I understand it the front cam bearing is narrower on the 1963 and later. Can I use the newer camshaft with the earlier retension system, thus keeping the same timing chain cover? If this type of camshaft does not work, where can I find a new 1958-1963 camshaft for this engine?

Thanks.
