I worked on a Bronco a while back that sounded just like that. I don't know what the numbers were on it, but it was a torquey son of a gun.

the guy from the vid replied when i asked him about the cam :
Thats the cam there. Works both in 302 and 351w. BIG difference in power when i did the swap. I remeber only being able to go 110 up a steep hill. Then with the cam i was able to get about 145-150ish. Take in mind thats KM/H. You can run that cam just dont get a set of heads with it too unless your ready to convert to speed density.

I see in the comments when he has the air on it will stall at an idle.

Im digging this back up.

I have a 95 that is already SD, I dont get what people say convert to SD..

Now this is a flat tappet and i have a roller motor. Will these cams still work? Suggested parts say valve springs and double roller timing chain, do i need them?

He meant to say mass air.

Forget using this cam... what you are hearing is a motor that the computer has no control over(sputtering and stumbling at idle). There are lots of EFI friendly cams available that will produce more power without the stalling, poor emissions, and bad fuel milage problems this cam produces.

This is a roller cam, so it would install in your 5.8 without additional parts.

Can you find me a Good camshaft for the SD. Im havin a hellava time trying to find one i like.... Im looking for an all around great camshaft. I tow a 20 foot boat some weekends, other i hit the sand dunes and climb hills. So i need the high end HP for the hills and low end torque for the pulling. At this point i dont care about gas mileage... Its gone to hell a long time ago lol
 
Take a look at this list, those in green will work well on SD, the Comp Cams XE grinds are getting good reviews from others, I have the 35-349-8 in a 5.0 I plan to try out soon... if I ever get the time to finish building and installing the motor.

I'll put it through desktop dyno over the weekend and see how it compares to some of the others. This cam has a lot of lift on the exhaust side, and when combined with almost 280deg duration it may present valve clearance issues.
 
As expected.. with the stock heads it's not buying you anything that the Comp 35-351-8 doesn't deliver with less lift and a little less duration, and that translates into less possibility of P-V interference and smoother operation. All of the cams I simulated seem to produce about 40hp and 40ft-lbs TQ more when combined with headers. That may not sound like a lot but it's pretty good for the amount of work involved and it produces more power everywhere. With the cam the motor makes more power at 3000rpm than the stock motor makes anywhere, and that continues to build out to 4000rpm.. where the heads become the restriction. Bolting on just about any aftermarket head from the WP Windsors and up nets another 50HP+ and a broader TQ curve. Better heads will produce close to 100HP more, but that gets expensive because you'll need injectors, an intake, and tuning on top of the heads.
