Cam looks like its toast...whaddya think??

Wow Steve,IT does not look good to me !
Pitting is not normal for any camshaft lobe and is considered to be damage. It is usually caused by corrosion pitting and metal fatigue. Very common with low usage engines that are not driven much and sit a lot...
Your in it this far,I would pull the lifters to inspect and I bet ya they are dished.
I believe it is time for lifters,cam,and timing chain set.

Thanks, Im gonna try and convince dad on timing chain and gears as well. He agrees with the cam/lifter swap. Recommendations on what to get?? I will do some checking, but looking for 1st hand experience.

Thanks!
