cam= singular = you have 1 not two, and a cam swap done right will cost more than a few hundred, why??? cam swap = valvetrain upgrade, if what you want is a 169. dolla' powa' pakin' performance cam, letter cams are wonderful to waste money on

The letter HEADs are better than any A-E cam.

Doing an internet seach shows a F4 cam that fits a Honda CBR600 motorcycle.

F4 in Ford part numbers means 1994.

I wouldn't go off what an owner told you, you'd almost have to pull it and get a part number off the heel if it is an aftermarket cam
