I thought that might be the case,John.There are a few people out there working on the earlier Y-blocks.The large bearing cams fit the 239 and 256 engines don't they? I should have it in hand Thursday or Friday and will see what it is.

If it is an NOS  EBU cam it is probably worth more than the one you want. They don't make those anymore.

Too late John....I bought it and he's already shipped it.Maybe I just bought a nice paperweight!!!!!!!!

If the cam is an EBU it will have the large cam bearings, won't fit your engine. Have him look for a casting number on the cam.

Thanks Larry.....I guess the guy I'm getting the cam from gave me an incorrect number,because it is an 8 cylinder cam for sure.I think it probably should be B7A-6250-B.

My manual shows B7A 6250-A as:

1957 223 6 cyl. cam

EBU 6250-C  same as B5A 6250 -C 1955 and 1956 272 & 292 replacement cam.

Can anyone tell me what a camshaft B7A-6250-A is original to?The box has a second number on it of EBU-6250-C.Is this a factory replacement cam for 56 292?
