What year and model, and engine are we discussing.

I have a core engine which will be going to the recycler soon. I could make you a deal on cam & sprocket if you needed it. Engine is a 01, 2.7. It was kind of a mess leaking oil and had been run quite hot. But the cams don't look worse for wear, and the engine only has 74,500 miles on it.
