Thanks guys for the tips. I ended up using a 6 inch C clamp. I was just taking the engine apart and I wanted the cam out. I am not rebuilding or repairing it so I wasn't too worried about doing it the proper way. The clamp worked perfect and I was able to get it on two at a time and pop out the locks on both at once. I did end up with a good cam and lifters. I found out why the engine was abandoned..the #4 cylinder had the compression ring broken and the head gasket let water into the same cylinder. All I had of the engine was the top part less the crankshaft, rod caps, pan, flywheel etc. I did recover all the pistons and rods in pretty good shape.
