What should I do with my old camshaft?
I installed a new 272 cam for my OHV 3.4L and I don't know what to do with the old one... I don't know how to tell if it is OEM or an upgraded aftermarket piece.
The previous owner claimed that it was put in about 15,000 miles ago when the engine swap was done and that it was an upgraded performance camshaft but he had no knowledge of what cam it was supposed to be.
Should I just throw it away, donate it to science, or try to figure what it is and sell it?
If my 272 breaks I'm not going to put it back in. I'd need to buy another used one so I know what I'm actually working with, but maybe someone else could use a better-than-stock cam.
What do you think?
