Regarding the number 54-000-11 posted by Tom S:

The 54 is the engine prefix number for Pontiac
The 000 indicates a custom grind
The 11 indicates a steel billet roller core

In addition to the core number 11 you will also find a number 9 is often used which indicates it is also a steel billet core.

These numbers are located on page 2 here:https://images.carid.com/comp-cams/i...ct-catalog.pdf

As far as the journal diameters that involves the suffix codes and they are located on page 3
