Default Camshaft numbers???

Bought this SBC that was partially completed. After breaking down to bare block, I have located all the info........ except the camshaft. Hydraulic / flat tappet. In front of the second bearing journal is cast # C18. Behind this second journal is cast #4. In front of fourth journal is CWC. Behind fourth journal is # 1529. Stamped on rear end of camshaft is F8.

The camshaft and lifters appear to be in good condition, no signs of cupping on lifters. Just putting together an engine for street use only, no racing.

Just trying to find out lift and duration. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

If there is any mystery about a cam you always replace it. Chances are its stock and you could use a little more lift and a little more duration.
