| RE: C4AE-6250-B cam |

There were two C4AE-6250 cams......help me out here kevin! Both were over the counter. One was a radical thumper that was not suitable for most street apps whereas the other and I think it's the B grind is the one that works well on the street and on the strip.
Kevin posted great info on these two cams last spring. I printed it out and of course it's at home in that FE tech file! If kevin doesn't respond to this I'll check it out and make sure what I tell ya is correct.
I ran a C4AE-6250-B cam that was offered by Wolverine in their old Blue Racer line. Before I bought it I checked out all the specs I could find and it looked exactly like the one that Ford had offered, i.e., 324 d and 500 lift/248 lobe & 112. It turned out to be an excellent cam for the application which was in a 3,800 lb. Galaxie, 2.32 C-ratio top loader & 3.89 gearing. It idled reasonably smoothly with a nice lope and it would make a lot of torque and pull hard from 2,000 to 6,200 easily. This was in a center oiler '64 427 with C4AE-G heads/CJ-LR size valves & tri power.
Again, I believe the B cam is the streetable one. The other C4AE-6250 is the thumper you may not want. I'll check later tonight and if someone hasn't responded, I'll thumb through my file to make sure I'm not leading you astray and re-post with correct info. You may want to take advantage of that NOS cam your builder is offering. |
