I just completed a full rebuild of my 270 Poly motor for my 56 Dodge Coronet. My Grandma and Grandpa bought it new. I wanted a new camshaft, as mine looked a little worn. It proved to be near impossible to find one. Someone sold me a cam, assuring me it was correct for 270 Poly. It was not. Can anyone here tell me what motor it is for? It is new and hoping to sell it. Thanks

Location: So. Cal		The best approach to get a 270 cam is to have your old one re-ground. It's tough to tell a cam type from a picture. Measure it, bearing journals, and length. That might give some clues.

Welcome Biggs67.

Look for stamped numbers on the end of the front or rear bearing journal, you will often find a part number there.
