Default Stock LS6 cam

Guys, I bought what is supposed to be a stock ls6 cam I am trying to verify this is actually correct with the numbers on it.

The only numbers on the cam are
206/08 ENG
5527

Can anyone tell me if this is a ls6 cam. Thanks in advance!

might be an england green cam. GM puts the last 4 of the part number on the end of the cam. the 02 LS6 cam I had on the shelf had a 5308 on the end of it. I have never seen an 01 LS6 cam but i have read that they have 0950 on the end of it.

Would any one know if this could be an england green cam? These numbers are not ground in there, they are digitally enscribed on it. I will try to post a pic.

Sorry, I just read back through my PM's and it is a LS7 cam

no the cam can't be used in an ls1 because it would require the relocation of the cam sensor to the front of the motor which the ls1 doesn't have previsions for. if your looking for a stock cam to work with the 5.3 the ls6 is it
