Fook!! I would say with about 95% certainty that it's a standard Ford cam if it isn't stamped. Where did you get it and how much did you pay? (If you don't mind me asking).

It's a standard cam if it's got a ford stamp on it.

i got it off ebay as a high boost cam kit. it came in the piper cam kit boxes with the lifters,springs etc (thinking they are duff now too...)

how can i tell if its a escort turbo cam ? i see most peeps on here run a standard cam over a high lift one anyway so if its standard, things might not be that bad

i emailed the guy anyway

Ford doesn't make Piper's cams and what Ford make, they mark it with their logo. It the cam has a Ford logo on it, it's a regular Ford camshaft. Report him to Paypal if you paid with Paypal. Take a picture of the cam.

Either he's completely retarded thinkin he has a piper cam or he's a scheming little prick trying to scam some extra cash...

i'm gonna say the latter. pisses me off when someone mis-sells to a buyer when they pay in good faith.

let all of PF loose on him i say lol
