The 268H will work with a stock converter and the 3.0 rear. It is a great cam for a heavy car or pickup. Mountains of low and mid range torque.

The 280H will be pretty choppy at idle in a 390, you would need at least 10:1 compression, a 2500 stall converter, at least 3.50 rear axle ratio and headers. You absolutely need an MSD or Crane 6 series or better ignition to run a cam with this much overlap in a 390. It is a good cam for a lighter car like a Mustang or Fairlane. Lots of mid to upper RPM power.
