Hi looking for some info on my 1990 210es baja gen iv 454 mag wondering if anyone knows what cam should be in this engine I've owned many boats but mainly small stuff this is my first big block boat I've wanted one for a long time bought it couple months ago on cl from what seemed like a pretty trustworthy dude was assured it ran well it's very clean for the age well the guy lied motor ran but not well and not for long was burning oil and lost pressure after running it for a bit I have pulled the engine and dismantled it to find lots of metal chewed up oil pump and one pretty scored cyl cam was absolutely wiped the numbers on the cam don't match anything online tag on the motor is correct it is a 365hp mag motor is currently at the machine shop no answer yet for a total

Put in a nice roller cam, you will not regret it. You will need to change lifters anyway. I would never install a flat tappet cam in any engine I build.

I agree, I'm pretty sure this cam will see the dump this weekend along with the stock exhaust and other components that came off the stock motors. Just no market for them anymore and I hate seeing them taking up shelf space.
