292H Comp Cam, reusable?? How to tell.

Pulling apart a 73-340 I got off craigslist cheap. I had been sitting in a barn for several years and was told they had it in a van at one time. Which must have been true since it had van motor mounts and oil pan.

So good and bad news. When tearing it down, I found .060 2316 pistons, j-heads with 202 valves, HV oil pump, etc. Bearings, crank, etc, look ok, and when pulling the cam, it has a 292H grind. The heads appear to have knurled valves or worn guides. They move around allot in an assembled state.

The plan was rings, bearings, gaskets and cam, but now I'm thinking to stick with he cheap build, reusing the cam and installing new lifters. So how do I tell if the camshaft is reusable??


Build plan: This short block, Promaxx 170/65 CC heads, LD340, headers, in a 66 coronet with 410 gears to do some amature drag racing that I've always wanted to do.

Thanks
Chris
