SOHC in a 4.9L?

Hey guys,

I have been trying to find some information on the stock camshaft in my 95, f150, 4x4, 5spd, 4.9L. My shop manual tells me the lift but I'm also looking for duration and any other information that I can get on the stock cam.

Is there a way to calculate the duration and overlap?

Here's the problem. When I try to do searches online, all the sites with specs for my truck say that it has a SOHC. What the...?? Keep in mind that is has come up on at least 4-5 different sites. Incase I'm COMPLETELY STUPID, can someone clear this up?

Also, does anyone have this info or know where to get it? I'm also thinking about a new cam. Any suggestions on type, brand, and specs? Sorry about all the questions, but I've been unable to yeild any searches that have been worth a crap.

Advertized duration 268°
Duration @ .050" lift 192°
LSA 110°
Lift .249" at cam .400" at valve. (1.61:1 rocker ratio)

It is most definitely NOT an overhead cam.
