I thought I had good googling skills but I’m coming up short. I was told years ago it’s a 305 HO cam, I believe also called the L69. I just want to confirm that or find out what it really is. numbers I can see: 200140. 871 CR And what looks to be a date 11-23-00 thanks!
I can't find those numbers anywhere. Not that it helps, but the "CR" could possibly mean Crane Cams. They made several cams for GM OEM and GMPP aftermarket back in the 1980s-2000s. I remember seeing their cams with GM part numbers in GMPP catalogs. With a mild stock cam, you should be able use calipers to measure across the widest part of a lobe, and then at a 90 degree angle from that. The difference between the two numbers is lobe lift. Take that number times 1.5 to get valve lift. It may be an L69 cam if the intake lobes are around .403" and the exhaust lobes .415". And if you have a block to put it in, along with a dial indicator and a degree wheel, you can determine its duration @ .050" tappet lift.
No, you gave good advice! I was replying to the Jegs part number posted by the other fella. That Jegs part number is for a small block ford so it’s not the same as what I have. I most definitely pulled it out of a running SBC.
