340 Camshaft

[chaja360]

Hi can anyone tell me is a P2899206 cam the same as a P4452782ae, if not what is the difference. Is the P2899206 a factory cam or after market.
Cheers chaja360

My old books say:

P2899206- .430" .449", 268/276. 360 4bbl HP.

P4452782- .429" .444", 268/276. 340 reproduction.

So essentially the same camshaft either way.

Thanks guys, so is it a Mopar purple camshaft, it was purchased to go in my 340 motor. It was advertised as a MP4452782AE, purchased here in Australia. I wanted a factory 340 cam, when i rebuild it. Have i been misled ?

As close as you can get. The AE on the end could have been a slight grind change or even a different vendor grinding it.

Thanks to all for their help, so it's close but not the factory cam ?
