Big Block Mystery cam

Alright, so i just pulled my 468 apart the other day and was wondering if there is any way i can tell what kind, and how big the cam is. The guy i got the motor from didn't tell me. I got the numbers and letters as best i could off of it,

Front of cam right behind first lobe
CWC-180*other side M

Otehr end of cam about three lobes from dist. gear
EP2

Right next to dist. gear
EO-180* other side 25

On the face of the back end of the cam is the number
636 with a B barely visible on it, kinda like they etched the number and then the B slightly on top of it

Any help would be appreciated, i really don't want to have to bring it to the engine shop to get it measured if i don't have to.

Thanks Chris

Throw the cam, crank, and timing set back into the motor, get out your degree wheel and indicator and measure it yourself. That's what I would do. Then you'll know exactly what it really is.
