Mopar has discontinued most of the parts for the slant. I think the cam you are refering to is the P4120243 for solid lifters, and P4529341 for hydraulic lifters. You can check with Summit Racing, and Mopar dealers that advertise in Mopar magazines, to see if they can get one. Personal opinion, is, unless you get a real good deal, on one of these cams, see about getting a cam from someone like Comp Cams, Isky, etc. The Mopar cams were designed 30 yrs ago, and are old tech.

Dont know if any are left in 'stock', with the plethora of oil pump gear failures on MP cams recently, I feel grateful that my local mopar dealer couldn't get one for 6 weeks, and I had to assemble my engine with a comp cam 252S....

Now that D-C is in control, you may not be able to get it anymore, unless someone has one laying on the shelf in the back room....

I have the feeling that all the remaining Mopar cams people have been finding "laying on the shelf in the back room..." are all the rejects from the time when they were making / stocking these cams.

Recently (the last 3 years or so) it seems like most of the cam / oil pump gear failures and missing / mis-aligned rear oil feed holes are with Mopar "old stock" cams. The "bad cam" owner usually says something like: I got a great "clearance price" or "this was the last cam in the stocking network".
Me thinks that "the shelf in the back room" is the reject / returned goods" shelf. :roll: :cry:
