Today I got an N41 cam from AFM and it has m6250e303 inscribed on it as well as N41

Do they grind them from ford blanks?

BTW I highly recommend them, they are very helpful and ship super fast

its got the right cam card in it for the n41 but why would the cam be inscribed with an m6250e303 as well as an N-41 part number is what Im wondering

The obvious suggestion, is to make sure you degree the cam and confirm its events @.050" tappet lift......... just in case. LUK

my n-412 just has n-412 scribed onto it. when i got it, i got it used from a guy who claimed it to be an n-41...when i got it and saw the 2 at the end, i was confused because i didn't know of the n-412 at the time. i called afm to see what was going on and to make sure this really was one of their cams, thats when i found out it was. and the guy told me they have a few different guys that grind the cams for them. i guess it just really depends on who ground your cam and where he got the blank. call up and ask them.

Come to find out it was just a pre stamped ford core so I got the right one. I figured it was because I could see the turn marks on the end as shown in the pic

upgraded from a stock cam. The car pins you back in the seat EXTREMELY hard, streetability is still great and MPG is not too shabby either (20mpg) i can get some video of the car up later!

did any of them fall loose before you took your cam out or did they hold them good?

I know taking the lower off isnt a huge deal but it sure is nice to be able to skip a few steps using the tool lol
