I can say with confidence it has the old Competition Cams box instead of the reds and white COMP logo.

I hope links to it are okay (and please, y'all, don't snipe this from me ��)

That's because it was me lol

I still have to finish tearing it down and get the machine work done, but buying the cam was a big hurdle. I'm glad I hesitated to order one before verifying the grind because I'd have been very, very unhappy to end up buying the wrong one on accident.

I broke down. Cam is bought haha.

What prompted the engine teardown, low oil pressure or it was knocking, or something else?

Missing, back firing from wiped out cam lobe(s)

So is he going to replace cam, lifters, springs and flush out the motor and send it?

Or re gasket the engine too, check the deck surfaces, new bearings?

It's going down to a bare block, getting flushed, new bearings, etc. Pretty much everything will be done/checked except the pistons and crank if I can get away with it. Before it was missing, the exhaust lifter on #8 was hammering real bad, too so it was going to need it at some point.
