View Full Version : 351 Cam Specs?

I have a cam from a 1985 Crown Vic with a 351HO and towing package. I found a while back a .pdf file with the cam specs, but I've since had to reformat my PC and was wondering if anyone knows the specs for this cam? From what I've read, it is supposed to be the same as the USA police cars of the same year. (the car was purchased in Canada) I know the cam is going to be fairly mild, but so is the rest of the 302 I was thinking of installing it in...

SPECS----(ALL smog deleted - no AC) Fresh rebuilt 82 302 (from LTD II) mildly ported heads, longtube headman headers dual 2.25" H-Piped dumped exhaust with flowmaster mufflers.. I am currently porting a stock 83 mustang intake, and will be porting a set of E7TE's (as soon as I get to the wreckers to pull them off of a Lincoln LSC)(Heads and intake will also be gasket matched) And a 4bbl from a 289 HO... Any ideas on power output with this combo? Also could you recommend a cam? (but I already have the one from the 351 )

Any help would be great! Thanks Larry

I googled it and got this info from another forum

The cam I recommend that I find better than the typical "RV" cam is the 351 HO cam used in trucks and vans and Police engines from 79-86
Part # E0AZ 6350 A or sealed power # CS 764
This will give a nice boost with out sacrificing drivabilty gas mileage or reliabilty
Has very similar slopes to the 302HO roller cam
Lift .278
.283
Duration @50 206
221
Dur @ 6 284/306
Overlap 60

Thanks Frankis. I googled the crap out of my PC and couldn't find anything. Where did you find it?

Search engines can be a pain. I hit paydirt with the following search string:

351 ho camshaft specifications police

& came up with this link as the third search result

Glad I could help you out. :)
