as far as i know its a stock cam

when i got the block it had the stock GM intake, stock vavle covers worn out vavle train so i don't really think it has a mild cam in it... the only mods i did to the motor was an edelbrock intake, holley 600cfm carb 1.5 full roller rockers, hard push rods comp cams lifters after market timeing chain. MSD 6AL box and hooker headers....

Okay, must be a "very mild" cam.

Such as a stock factory cam.
