Camshaft Identifcation Help?

[someoneanywhere]

Hello.
Could you give me some help to identify the camshaft from my 67 440HP?
The engine had 1500 miles on it from a complete overhaul by a professional mopar engine builder (or so the sales chatter was). I tore it down having driven the 67 Charger it came in about 200 miles. Suddenly lost oil pressure idling in driveway with valve clatter. Found: #2 cyl. intake pushrod broken hyd. lifter out of it's bore. #5 cylinder exh. pushrod and lifter out of their places.
No cam damage.

The pushrods appear to be a crude bench grinder length set job.

I attached the lifter image as a friend told me he thinks they are Crane Cams lifters thus perhaps cam and lifters were a set.

Thank you.

I think its likely a comp cams 268 with a 108 degree lobe separation angle.
Chevy grind.

Why would someone use a Chevy grind in our engines?

What he means is that it is a Chevy lobe profile, ground on a mopar cam blank. Chevy uses a smaller diameter lifter than Ford or mopar, so if you grind a safe profile for a chevy, it can be used on anything.
What he is saying is that your cam doesn't take advantage of the possibility of a better grind for the larger mopar lifters.

that is a regrind. see the dowel cut and ground off that is not what i would put in my engine call a cam company and have them grind a new one off cam for your engine dont buy off the shelf cam shaft mopars are different from any brand -x

More importantly what's the deal with the pushrods?

Yep, exactly my quandary!
Somewhere I think I'd seen a tech article or a series of forum postings about 440 pushrod/lifter toss syndrome and the required proper pushrod measuring techniques. But of course now I can not find it again!

Yes, indeed I understand. I'll not be putting it back in.
