here is some info from a TSB
I re-typed it here as when I scanned it the site shrunk it to near unreadable.
SUPERCHARGED ENGINE IDENTIFICATION (1957 Cars and Thunderbird)
The major differences between the two types of supercharged engines, currently available through production, are listed below for identification purposes.
A. Supercharged engines are normally built with the standard camshaft (B7A-6250-B) and single valve springs.
B. Domestic Special Order (D.S.O.) supercharged engines are built with a high lift camshaft (B7A-6250-C) and use additional dampener springs.
C. The only method of positively identifying the two supercharged engines without removing the camshaft, is by measuring the camshaft lobe lift. The camshaft lobe lift is 0.272 inch (intake valve) on the standard camshaft and 0.290 inch on the high lift camshaft. (refer to the 1957 Supercharger shop manual for additional service information).
