Does anyone know what cam really comes in the Ford 392 crate motor (430HP version)? I have read in many magazine articles that its a compcam XE282HR. But when I look in the Ford Racing Performance Parts Catalog is says its a Crane Cam. I called Ford Racing and they said it is a Crane Cam but could not tell me what Grind number it is. Only the specs of the cam which do not match that of the XE282HR.

XE282HR is 282/290, 232/240 and 565/574 lift
Crane Cam is 232/240, 563/584 (according to Ford Tech)

I am looking to install a new camshaft and can't figure out whats already in the block. Also trying to figure out if the 351 Sportsman "Roller Block" uses a standard or retrofit base circle on the cam.

Thanks!
