Camshaft Troubles

Currently building my first LT1 for my 1995 trans am. I just received the gm846 cam I purchased but it has no hole for an opti and a short dowel pin. My fault for not making sure it was for an lt1

Does anyone have a decent cam like the 846 or 503 that they are wanting to part with?

Quick easy fix for a machine shop.

Is it for a roller engine at least? The snout will be stepped to accept a cam plate. As stated, take it to a machine shop and take your opti with you so they have a reference.

I may just end up doing this. Apparently I started my project at the worst time because every Comp Cam is back ordered and will have to be special ordered.
