I know it's a long shot, but I am looking for the P4529343 Mopar Performance 528 solid cam for the slant six. Thanks.
 
RRR, be carefull with that cam. It seems like many of the oil pump gear failures were with that cam. I have never had a gear failure, but did wipe one lobe on one of those cams (the only slant six cam failure I ever had).
Personal observation: It looks to me like most of the cam issues with the slant, are with newer cam blanks. Most of the cams I have run, have older dates on the box. It also seems to me there is less of a problem with regrind cams. This leads me to believe it is more of a metallurgy issue. This is just MY OPINION.
PS:
I have a Racer Brown cam with very similar specs to the MP cam (I understand RB did grind the MP cams, though that could be incorrect), and that cam has been fine.

Yes sir. I have seen that about that cam as well as the Comp grinds. I am looking at Erson now. That .510 lift cam they offer looks pretty good. Did you ever find that cam you said you had?
