Check the support journal diameters. It may narrow it down.

We have a "cam chart" somewhere on this site. Probably in the tech manual. I believe the "01" is an emission era cam with a little less HP as long as the main cam journals are the same diameter or you will need to change those also. Try searching "cam chart"
