When the Cams were made, Ford in order to save money, wedged the cam sprockets onto the cam itself.

In almost ALL cases, at any time, the Cam Sprocket will spin off of the Cam Shaft. What this means (being the SHO V8 is an "Interference Motor" which means that when a piston is at TDC and the valves are down, the valves can contact the piston.) is when the cam stops spinning, the valves end up getting out of sync causing them to drop into the combustion chamber without any control causing an explosive destruction of the engine.
