FE Camshafts

[SuperCab]

So, in my ongoing quest to rebuild either my 360 or 390, I've come to another critical crossroads:

Camshafts. I'm just looking for something, if it exists, that can enhance the drivability and truck like characteristics of the truck.

Not neccesarily looking for recomendations for cams; I'd rather just have some places to read up on it, then decide for myself.

But for starters, does anybody know the specs on the stock cam for a 2v 360/390?

Thanks

Dont know specs on it but take a look at either crane cams or comp cams Ive had both and they are good Im currently runnin a 260H truck pullin cam in the mule and a 268 in the 85. Cant remember which truck has which brand but its one of those two.

Cuz I don't know anything about FE's...335's or 385's, that's a different story.

Well what do ya want to do with your motor is the real question cause thats what depends on the camshaft.

The guy you want to talk about camshafts is hollenjoe. I got him signed up here, but he's only made a couple posts. Send him a PM and he'll straighten you out. He's the guy I go to for all my cam specs or engine numbers or engine build questions.

Thanks ben - I'll shoot hollenjoe a pm. And for everyone else, I'm just looking to make the thing better for street friving, if this is possible. If not, I'm not opposed to keeping the stock cam.

Sure for street drivin a 268 would be perfect its a mild rv cam and will give ya a boost in tourqe and is a good light towin cam. Its not huge but it does good for street drivin in my 85.
