James..........
I saw how you said you used the Comp Cams 268AH-10 in a 428 and had great results, even better than with the Lunati grind.
I have a 65 F-100, 352fe, no power brakes or any thing else vacuum assisted, 3-speed manual & 3.50 gears 2wd and around 4,000lbs. I want a very strong 390 to replace it. I have checked out some crate engines and they are pretty pricy or they aren't up to par on power wise. So with great machine shops around I'm building my own!
So never had built an FE engine or used Comp Cams in one, I don't know what to expect, do they react different than say a 350sbc to caming, thats all I have built in the past as a kid. I've used the 270mag in a 350sbc with great results.
My build will be a 390 with around 9.5cr, Edelbrock RPM heads & intake with a 650cfm carb. I will be doing all the oiling mods and beefing up the bottom end. I'm thiking I want to use this 268AH-10 specialty cam with .544 lift from Comp. Thinking the RPM heads could utilize more lift than the 270mags .519 lift can offer.
My main QUESTIONS are, will this cam act like a 270mag at idle & at low-mid rpm powr wise, with more top end kick? How does the idle sound? Have you ever used this cam in a 390? What do you think the rpm power band is with the 268AH-10? And what kind of horse power do you think I'll make?
I know I'm dumping alot of questions on ya, but your the only one I know of using that cam in an FE !
Thanks for any info you can give me James! |
