Heaven only knows what the difference in some of these were, but GM thought enough of the need for a difference to spend money to change them.

Sorry the listing didn't go as planned.Just note the first number is called in the book "forged" and sometimes "cast".
The second number is Part number.
I think all these camshafts are actually cast not forged.

Many thanks Bob!!! Any data is welcome, I could´t find to much info for early Forged Cams. A friend of mine is working in two 235 and one 216. I believe the 261-Corvette Cams were only Forged...
