Camshaft id help
Folks, it does not pay to get old. My neighbor's uncle is a retired engineer from GM. Over the years he's been collecting parts to build up a 350 small block. Unfortunately he is in poor health, to the extent that he & his wife are moving to be closer to their son in Vermont.
He wants the motor and parts to go to an "old timer gearhead"...that's me .
Which brings me to 1 of 2 camshafts that needs id'g. Written on the box is: Camshaft Machine #115804. I'm not in his garage (he's on the other side of town). Thought posting here might jog someone's archived old catalogue, cross referencing to, perhaps to a GM part #.
The block he's got has this casting #3970010. Mortec says it could be a 302, 327 or 350. My neighbor's uncle says it's a 350 out of a '77 NOMAD and has 4 bolt mains. We'll be pulling it apart to verify (dropping the pan).
So, what say you on that camshaft.
Thanks guys.

I never heard of that company. Just for fun I googled the info you posted. That name and address was the first hit
