Cam Help
I've just about had enough of not knowing about this. Is there any tell-tale signs I can look for that would point out my engine have been pulled before. The other day while taking my truck out for a little stretch, a couple friends asked what cam it had. As far as I know its stock but they think for sure its aftermarket. Anyway to tell without pulling the whole thing? I've been asked now like 15 times. Thanks
ps-I would have posted this in the engine forum but replies there take so flipping long.

What are the chances of that having been done while changing the timing chain. My grandpa mentioned that he changed the chain.

Well, that destroys my theory.
You might be able to pull a valve cover and measure valve lift to see if it is more than stock. Not sure what stock lift on a 400 is though, hopefully someone could chime in on that one.
