Camshafts, e55 and c43

I have two pairs of camshafts,

One set from a 2000 E55

Other set from my 1998 C43

Both are in fine shape with no damage whatsoever.

Looking for 300 for each pair, or make a reasonable offer.

do those e55 cams have any benefit for a standard 5.0 M113?

I have not tried them in a 500 to be able to tell you for sure, but I'd think you would gain some pull in the upper half of the rpm. They are very torquey cams so I doubt you'd lose anything down low.

Also since you have both..comparing the two sets is there a obvious difference the two sets. Meaning are the e55s bigger in lift than the 43?

I'm just curious because I can't seem to find any specs on either cams. I'm a dealer tech so ive looked at epc and I think I remember the cam part numbers being different from each other. Thanks. Sorry for the multiple posts.

E55 cams surely bigger. I haven't measured the c43 cams yet as they're still in my original motor but there's no doubt they're bigger

I'll buy the C43 cams from you for $250 depending on how much it costs to install, do you have any idea?

I replaced a set last weekend and it took me 3 hours start to finish. Not sure what book time is offhand. Let me know if you would like them. Paypal is preferred but I could take other forms but would like them to clear before I ship.
