Default Used LS1 hotcam???

I was wondering if there is any way to identify the LS1 hotcam (specific part# on cam)? I am looking at purchasing a used cam, but I don't want to get ripped off. The cam is supposed to have about 1000 miles on it. How much should this cam be worth? I know I should look for signs of wear (as in discoloration, scorring) but is there anything else I should look for? Would it be worth adding to the mods in my sig, or would I not see enough of a gain to mess with it? Any information would be great...

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Will you get all the stuff to install the used Hot Cam with it?

If you get a deal on a used Hot Cam even if it's a good deal but still have to buy an install kit. It might be cheaper and less hassle just to buy a new Hot Cam and kit.
