Default Cam ?

I am doing a stock rebuild of a 92 5.0 to put into my 82 gt. I got the block, heads, and rotating assembly for $100 and am getting the machine work done for $150. My question is, The block came with an aftermarket cam in it and the guy didn't have any numbers on it. Is there any way to identify it and see what im working with? I dont know too much on cam theory or anything like that so I would love it if someone educated me. I know it would probably be best to just use the stock cam or something close. Everything will be stock except a edel. 289 performer intake and 600cfm carb.

just use a stock cam, you could measure the lobe lift with a micrometer or look on the heel of the cam for a grind number
