Dual pattern cams....
By Royce Peterson - 12/13/2002 10:20:42 AM; IP 198.81.27.8
Actually there are reasons to go either way. A dual pattern cam can give you a decent idle with good idle vacuum but still pull hard at higher RPM's.

A single pattern cam can be a good choice for a targeted RPM range. It will give better power in its range than a dual pattern cam of similar lift and duration.

In the case off the 268H the cam is designed for good mid range power in an engine with 410 - 428 CI. It is a single pattern cam. Single pattern means identical lobe design on intake and exhaust. Here's a link to the specs:

Like Gerry says the FE actually has good exhaust ports compared to something like a small block Ford.
