im doing a 302 -> 347 for xmas and just wondering what camshaft would be good.

i dont get it.. everyone says custom ground... but does that mean you just specify what lift, duration, etc. you want?

just someone give me a link to a good camshaft for this application?

planning on doing 400 hp for now with the 347, and eventually s/c it after i stick a Dart in there (wayyyy future =D)

also what size MAF and t/b you guys suggest?

[Darrell]

Do you have any more details about the engine?

[tehdwarvenn]

pretty much all stock, but im putting in the cam while the stroker is being done. getting Woody's fighter GT kit.

Um I think you need to research that some lil buddy I am pretty sure doing the 347 and cam with no other mods is not going to do 400 ....if you get 400 to the ground with those two mods please let me know your setup. Talk to some people on here and look for the post they have been helping me with the same thing lot of good peeps and help

I bet Woody can set you up with a cam when you buy the rest of the components.

i didnt say i was planning to get 400 with that setup, 400 hp is my goal in addition to this setup. im still getting the TFS topend kit =P then redoing all my electrical and fuel =P

really, dont waste ur money on ignition right now, u wont need it. the stock system will be fine until you s/c or spray on top of your stroker.\

btw, dont waste your money on the TF topend kit. talk to Jay Allen at Camshaft Inovations. he can hook you up w/ a set of Cainfields and a custom ground cam, and it will be worth every cent. i have heard only good about him, i havent had work done there myself, but if i need another cam. he will be my go to guy.

You need a custom grind for a stroker that is yor best bet a cam made right for the motor

[tehdwarvenn]

so there isnt like.. a cam that is usually used with 347's and have the power band from 2.5k-5k?

YOU NEED TO LEARN MORE BEFORE YOU EVENATTEMPT TO BUILD AN ENGINE OR YOU ARE JUST GOING TO END UO WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS A MISMATCHED COMBO

[tehdwarvenn]

wow. no one gave me a good answer... does no one have ANY cam expirience??? i know SOME company makes a cam that is practical for 347... everything else is stock, just going to stroke it.

[TurboLX]

you need a custom grinded one

need more details

use for engine

etc...

[8t6gt]

The reason you need a custom grind is beacuse your gonna build that engine with different heads/compression whatever else then the other guy. That is the reason why you need a custom grind. You need a cam built specificly for that engine the way it is setup and the way it runs. You can aso specify when you order the cam a street or strip only cam. Like you will be able to choose the power range it kicks in max power at. So this is the straight answer I guess you where looking for.

But if you want to buy an off the shelf one and not go custom grind I would go with the B cam from Ford racing but that will not be nearly as good as the first option

[tehdwarvenn]

thanks much 8t6! finally lol.

+1 :-)

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Speedstang302]

^^^ yeah...and an bcam in a stroker is stupid..thats a nice cam for an 302 with gt40 heads and intake...rlly basic...buts almost stupid to not go custom cam on a stroker, but he also said hes just going to stroke it and leave everthing stock...first off i say thats the stupidest idea i've ever heard..and 2nd WTF is the point of an cam in an stock motor...without and aftermarket intakes, it totally useless and w/out better flowing heads its almost totally uselss...

do more research into stroker motors and then come ask that question...just spend the $800-1000 that you will on stroking it on aluminum heads or intake and cam...either one is 10X smarter than stock stroker...
