I am planning on running this cam in a 347 stroker for a Cobra kit car. It specifies a 351W but I have read cams will interchange without problems. I am concerned about the distributor. Mallory stated the gears were the same size but Edelbrock told me I needed to run a 351W dizzy. But the oil pump shafts are different sizes. I am getting so many answers I am confused what is absolute correct.

PLEASE HELP direct me.

Edelbrock 2281

ENGINE: FORD 351W
RPM RANGE: 1500-6500
Duration at 0.006" Lift:Intake: 299° Exhaust: 302°
Duration at 0.050" Lift:Intake: 235° Exhaust: 238°
Lift at Cam:Intake: 0.358" Exhaust: 0.364"
Lift at Valve:Intake: 0.573" Exhaust: 0.582"
Intake:11° BTDC 44° ABDC
Exhaust:56° BBDC 2° ATDC
Centerlines:Lobe Separation - 112° Intake Centerline - 107°

 

The only difference in the cam is the firing order and in fact the 5.0 HO uses the 351 firing order. You cannot use a 351W Distributor because the difference IS the size of the oil pump drive shaft!...use a 302 Dist, use the 351 Cam and if it is a roller cam then make sure you have the correct gear on the Dizzy...otherwise that will get chewed up.

 

The camshaft is roller. And this is a 92 Mustang 5.0 engine I am using for drive train. So I should be good then. All is roller.

 

Yes, you're all set!
