Just to add another big cam to the list. .501"/.513" 288/292 duration.
If you think back, this is the 380 hp cam out of the MP crate motor. Now I
know that we discussed how it wasn't interchangeable, but as the catalog
states: "Hydralic roller cam designed for 1992-1998 Magnum engines or
300/380 Magnum Crate Engines.

BTW emissions worriers, it says nothing about not being emissions legal.
