Ok, so here's what happened. I bought a junkyard vortec 350 to get the rotating assembly to do a budget boost friendly build. I finally got around to tearing down the shortblock, and when I pulled the oil pan, instead of the stock rotating assembly, I found GMK stamped rods with the balance pads on the bottom of the rod caps, with the piston order stamped on the bottom. Not hard to identify, that info is plentiful.
The Block and heads that were on the motor are from a 96+ vehicle, there is no mistaking the intake manifold and the timing cover with the cam sensor in it. Besides the fact that I checked the vehicle itself to ensure that it was indeed the correct generation vehicle. so it appears to have been rebuilt at one point.
And here is the crux of my post, and more of a question of curiosity rather than hoping for that one in a million find.
I can't definitively I.D. the camshaft that was in the motor. On the timing gear end is stamped 305 following the curved of the camshaft. On the bellhousing end, is stamped 1264, next line is 3 23, next line is 9049. Also, on the other side on the bellhousing end of the camshaft is a K and a 0 stamped into it.
I don't have access to a set of micrometers, and I don't want to pay to have that work done. I don't need the cam to be anything, I'm just curious if anyone has any info that may help me here since the rest of the internet has thus far proved quite useless in my quest for the answer.
Thanks in advance!
