The 16 is probably a factory marking for the motor it would fit in before grinding. I'd like to say BB means big block but you never know. Are you thinking it might be a aftermarket cam ? The only way to know anything about it now is to put it, degree it in and check it all over.
OK, the specs. for the 429 cam are different than the 460. I'm not sure about the "ThunderJet", I could only find one listing for the 429. Anyway, here they are intake=.2526, exhaust=.265
