I found the piper 285 cam poxy, STD ford or Kent were best unless you want to go solid lifter route

I am sure the RS camshaft would be different?

I believe the 1.3 1.6 RS XR3 are all the same.
The 1.4 is different.
Also they change depending on carb or injection.
So no, they are not all the same.
