Ford part numbers needed

[Bob/Ohio]

I am going to look at some Flathead parts this week, and the guy has an NOS Y Block cam and lifters to sell also. Just wondering if anyone has any Ford part numbers to possibly identify the cam. I don't know how many different stock cams Ford made for these engines. He doesn't know what year or what cubic inch engine it is for, all he knows is that it is for a Y Block.

Thanks
Bob

Might also post on the Late Engine site.

I thought I would try here first, as many people cross between the two forums.

I'm attaching two photos I took from James Eichman's Y- Block book.
Hope you can read them good enough . Has '54 and up factory cams for cars (I don't think it includes truck cams). 2nd photo is '57 only. Standard cam and optional performance cam.

Thanks for the information! I am trying to help the guy identify the cam. He said it has been too many years since he bought it to remember what it was for.

Went to look at the Flathead parts and checkout the Y block cam last night. Upon pulling the cam out of the torn box, it turned out to be a used cam, but the lifters were new, so wasn't worth going any farther. On a good note, I did buy the only Flathead parts he had left, a 0.020 under 59a crank, and a 10" Auburn clutch and pressure plate, on a 22lb flywheel. These had been sitting in his garage since 1961 when he tore his last Flathead apart!
