Default cam help

I was tearing down an engine out of a mustang I bought a few months back to put in a new engine. I am wanting to use the cam out of the old engine because it had alot of torque and a slightly loped idle. The only markings I have found on it are the letters ZE and 3 dots between the oil pump drive gear and the first lobe and 0106 on the very end. Any info is appreciated

The only reason I'm taking the cam out of the new engine is because it's a B303 and I've read alot of negative feedback on this cam. I'm not wanting to pull the engine apart later after it's in the car

All I've been able to find on the end of the cam is 0106.

I'm not sure, but with ZE being in the casting number i'm guessing it's going to be a Ford part, if that helps you any, hope it does...
