Cam ID help

This cam was given to me.

There are no ID marks besides "3G36" on the back side.

I took it to a machine shop a family friend of ours works at.

measurments are: 1.157 width
1.503 height

height-width=.346
.346 X 1.5= .519 lift
.346 X 1.6= .5536 lift

SO how do I measure duration? LSA? I can use a micrometer and im good at calculus.

It seems like, if my measurments are correct, and if used with the 1.5 rockers, it would be a shade smaller that the hotcam, which is what I want.

Is this a bad idea altogether to use a mystery cam? Im on a budget.
The cam is in perfect shape with less that 1000 miles.

This will be going in a 93Z Stock engine with long tubes and CIA only.

Also I will be running at least a 3000 stall.

Thanks for any help. Ive posted this around other site with no feedback.
Maybe I need the advanced crew to help?
Thanks, Josh

You'll need more than a micrometer. You'll need to put the cam into an engine or in a jig and use a degree wheel and a dial gauge to check duration. For LSA you'll need to know the centerline of both lobes on a cylinder.
