    mystery cam

    I've had this cam sitting in my garage for years now still in the box. Got it in a trade with a bunch of other sbf parts, but I don't know anything about it other than I'm pretty sure it isn't a roller cam. Here is a pic with the specs on it. Just wanted some info on it. Particular application for this? worth anything?

    Its a flat tappet cam. Google seems to indicate its an RV cam, good for low end torque, kinda dies off at higher RPM. Pretty similar to an Explorer cam by the sounds of it. Probably would work rather nicely in a box with a flat tappet motor. I'm guessing its non-HO firing order.

    Judging by the brandy new price of 66 bucks, I'd say its not worth a whole bunch. Flat tappet cams are usually cheap though. That same thing in a roller cam would likely be more like triple the price.

      With stock E7s, that cam is all done by 4k on a 351. Pretty much identical to an Edelbrock Performer #2182.

        Thanks for the info, definitely don't need any flat tappet cams laying around. I'll try to get a few bucks out of it.
