I see that the camshaft has some purple color on the shaft up toward the front of the motor. I also see a orange marking toward the back. Please take a look at the linked pictures and tell me if this is a mopar purple shaft. Thanks http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/Badge01/005-1_zpsa9ad6f00.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/Badge01/004-3_zpseceff38b.jpg

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. www.MoparMisfits.com
