Gunner, you changed the OP's wording from "Ford solid lifter cam" and substituted your own assumption, "original cam". They're not necessarily one and the same. Let's see, if I recall ... Ford had several "hot" solid lifter FE cams that was available across the parts counter of your local Ford dealerships. In fact, I think they were Shelby sourced cams that were sold by Ford with Ford part numbers. One of those cams could qualify as the OP's "Ford solid lifter cam". Depending on the profile it would render more than stock, hence the 500 +/-.
