It depends on the engine. It could be one, two, or four.
There are so many variables in answering this question. A standard v8 engine will have 16 lobes, 1 for each valve while an overhead cam engine will run 2 cams with 8 on each side.
On a 1999 Ford Explorer : It depends on which engine you have : The 4.0 liter Single Over Head Cam , V6 engine has ( 1 camshaft on top of each cylinder head , so there are 2 cams ) The 4.0 liter EFI , V6 engine ( which is an Over Head Valve / pushrod design engine has ( 1 camshaft ) The 5.0 liter , V8 engine has ( 1 camshaft )
The V8 engine has ( 8 engine cylinders )
There are ( 8 PISTONS ) in a V8 engine
2 cams per cylinder head ( so 4 in total for the DOHC engine )
DOHC means double overhead cams,which means two camshafts on top of one cylinder bank. 4.6l is the engine displacement.
for SI engine 2 cams will be provided......,for CI engine 3 cams PROVIDED for opening of inlet,exhaust valves and operating of fuel injector...ok got it
On a V8 engine there is ( 1 intake manifold and 2 exhaust manifolds )
It could have one, two or four cams. Depends on the engine

A V8 Engine has 8 cylinders organized in a V shape. There are 4 on each side.
An engine has one piston for each cylinder, so a V8 will have eight pistons.An engine has one piston for each cylinder, so a V8 will have eight pistons.
