Does anybody know whether the Mopar Mega Block uses the 1-bolt or 3-bolt cam?

1 bolt cams are usually stock grind/production cams , where as 3 bolt cams are high lift and more radical grinds needing extra strength at the sprocket.

Oh ok thanks, I thought I heard that block only allows one or the other.  Thanks.

It's kind of confusing then, when Comp Cams makes the Xtreme Energy Hi-Lift XE285 HL, which is a one-bolt, yet it's high-lift and a Mopar grind that takes advantage of our bigger lifters.
