It looks to me like a Chevy billet roller cam without a mechanical fuel pump eccentric. A larger view would help.

What's the engine?

Mechanical fuel pump on it? Highly unlikely.

Who made the cam? What are all the numbers on the back of the journal nearest the gear?

My Lingenfelter solid roller cam had the same area on it, The blank that they grind the camshaft from can also have the mechanical fuel pump lobe ground into it but it is not used in these apps so the just leave it round.

My main question is....Are there any LT4 hotcams made like that? I just want to make sure its a hotcam, and not something else.

I dont post on here but that cam looks like a small base circle cam made for a stroker crank.Possibly a solid roller.And that blank is for a mechanical fuel pump not needed on a LT1/4
