508 or 509 Purple Shaft cam

I know I'm a little late to this but I spent 30 years working at Mopar dealerships, even running a Mopar speed shop out of one. Anyway from Mopar there was a mechanical camshaft designed for oval track that was a .509 lift. The specs that momoparnut described are correct. Part # was P4529969. However it was not very common.

You say the .509 isn't common. I'm not sure what the OP has, but mine is in fact the .509 (oval track) I have it brand new in the box w/solid lifters.

I have no idea how it well it would work in a smallblock.
