Looks like a B20 cam? Judging by the associated products, anyway.

Have a search for xtrmjks as he got a cam from Sweden that turned out to be pretty good. Only thing to watch with an engine from a 700/900 is the distributor is driven by the camshaft.

No, despite their similar numbers the B20 engine is completely different, from the Amazon/p1800 era
