New cam

[427Fastback]

I am not a cam shaft guru like the boys whos name starts with a "B" or Ross or any of our other experts but..I have probably installed the 268 in over a dozen FE fords(trucks included) and a 100 other engines.I find it is a great little cam.It will work fine with all the stock equipment and still makes great vacumn.I have had good luck with it and its easy to dial the engine in around it...
I tend to ditch the point ign system and use Fords duraspark as well...Simple stuff that works well on a street car.......JMO

Not to hijack this thread but while we are on this subject ( the exact reason I logged on here today ) but I am looking for a cam too. 1967 f100.My engine is a 352 . just bought headers 2.5 exhaust will go behind it , street master intake , bought some heads that  were just  done C7AE-A 's no port work  yet, 3spd on column and 3.7? Gears .
I won't be bracket racing it but want it to run good light to light and have a lopey idle . what do y'all recommend ?

They invented a machine that will break in the cam for you      (for a fee, $60 US.   I think?)
They are Ford cam grinders and know FE's

Unfortunately, I've heard of cam failures after being "broken in" with that machine.  It has no way of duplicating the actual lifter bore locations in relation to the camshaft lobes of an actual engine.

Comp 268 is what you want.  We've done them in everything from 289's to 460's, and, like others have mentioned, it's one of those 'old' designs that just works.  Should give you a good lope in that 352, and the 3-speed/decent gears should make it a good driver.
