Anyone have any idea what cam I might have?

I was told by previous owner (over 15 years ago) that my 360 engine has a RV cam with solid lifters. I just put a dial indicator on the rockers and both intake and exhaust measure around .440 lift (with all the lash taken out) but I can't find any info online for a solid cam with those lift numbers. Is it possible this is a normal hydraulic lifter cam and that they put solid lifters in back in the day for some reason?

Car runs fine and has for years with this setup, so it seems obviously okay, just would love to know what cam I am dealing with so I can set proper lash. Currently it is set to .022 intake and 0.24 exhaust.

1974 360 LA block with J heads and 273 adjustable rockers.

Thanks "George Jets" and do you think the previous owner put solid lifters in instead of the hydraulic? Any suggestions what the best lash setting should be?

not enough data to make anything but a wild *** guess.

it's unlikely that it's got solids on a hydro grind, it can be done but generally the ramps are ground differently and it absolutely beats the valvetrain to death, generally results in a short cam life too.

If it's been together for a long period with lash that great, it's a solid camshaft. As @junkyardhero pointed out, it would have beat itself to death by now otherwise.
