I don't think the middle symbol is a seven, I think its a separator
thus reading (perhaps)
.709|107°
804

Could it be for a CVH with hydraulics. The 107 could indicate inlet valve timing @full lift supersports cams.....

The subject says X-Flow, it says 1300 X-Flow in the first post so why would anyone suggest its a CVH cam which is a totally different and unrelated
engine (other than the fact they are both Fords).
For the record I have checked all my old X-Flow info and I cannot find any reference to such a number. Many regrinds have the companies reference on
them but normally its something that makes sense.

My reason for suggesting cvh was the fact that it may have been modified and the fact that then Kent book suggests that it is the only engine with
these figures indicated.....

looking again, I think:
.709/107°
80/4
and
80/4 may be date code, april 1980

A X-Flow is a pushrod engine with the cam in the block. A CVH is a OHC engine with a cam in the head. A X-Flow cannot be modified into a CVH.

I am fully aware what a x-flow engine is and have probably worked on far more than you. It is quite obvious that the cam end is mounted in a x-flow
block. I have also worked with some serious engine builders whom will regrind any cam there is to make something go faster. I made a suggestion as to
what the cam was in good faith, so dont talk me down like I am an idiot.....

so back to "normal" conversation guys...
what do younthink...its more likely that this camshaft is a standard ford camshaft, but reprofiled and the guy who did the reprofiling put in his own
numbers?

I would think it is just a standard ford cam
Kent cams are normally marked something like KC234
Piper cams are normally marked something like BP285
There were a loads of grinds based on old profiles A2 etc.
But it normally obvious

Unless it has had the base circle re-ground probably just a Jurassic batch number.

the original ford camshafts have no markings in this area.
i have seen only sportscamshafts or regrinds where the rear face was marked.
