Alot of people are out of cores, Bullet did have some cores some time back, but not sure now. Why are you needing just cam and lifters did you have a failure?

The car had sat for many years and not sure if the cam had ever been broke in properly. running poorly and two lifter/lobes were scored real bad.
So, out came the engine and total clean and hone etc.
Need the cam or cant put the car back together....... :'(

Is there some reason to want an original? The C8AX-D was the 'Cat's PJs' a long time ago, but cam design now is so far ahead that there is, literally, no reasonable comparison.

Try a bit more clarity about exactly what you want, your saying a few different things that do not add up to any one.

If interested, PM me, I have a customer with an original 427 D cam that did a basic clean up grind by Oregon cams , I can share his info

It was already broken in, dumbell  lifters are with it and boxed in order, just going a different route with the engine
