Camshaft 373 2798 what is it from pls
« on: October 10, 2008, 07:54:56 PM »
Just pulled this from a 283ci 3789935 casting engine...  Cam is numbered towards rear maybe 3 - 4 lobes up with these numbers 373 2798..  Any ideas what it came from and figures re. duration and lift..
Thank You!!!  T.

1957-1966 283 and 327 application. Used in a number of low to medium horse power ratings.

Lift is .398 and duration is 300

That was the standard hydraulic-lifter cam for all '57-'66 base engine applications.
