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

 

pull the cam out and look on the butt of it and it should tell you what kind it is

 

what the number on the back of the cam?

 

Ok thanks guys. I found D02

 

Does that number tell you anything? I googled it and didnt get anything

 

is that all it had on the back of it?

 

Yep thats all there was. I can take a picture if you want?

 

pics FTW

 

Could it possibly be under the tan glue? haha
