1993 camshaft
Replacing lifters and cam as well as all the gaskets and seals and such and trying to find the run of the mill stock camshaft and for the life of me I can't understand which to get, they range from 100 to 400 all claiming to be stock. I just wanna get what I already have i don't mind spending a bit of money but if there's no difference I'd gladly buy a cheaper one. Any non track upgrades that don't require me to do anything else would work too. Any help would be appreciated

I was wondering the same thing. Lt1 cams don't usually go bad, I would investigate the tick. Might be something simple like the rocker backed off. If I did have to get a new stock cam it would be the Melling MC1335.

As lt1-xjs said, the stock L98 and LT1 roller cams and lifters have a very good reputation. If the journals and lobes on the original cam look good, you can absolutely reuse it. If the rollers on the lifters look good and roll smooth, you can reuse them as well. But you'll want to disassemble and clean all the lifters. I recently posted instructions for that process here:
