Cam advice....
#11
The FRR E303 is a pretty mild cam that doesn't loose a lot of bottom end torque. The bumpity-bump idle is greatly affected by compression. The higher the compression the more "blow back" you get during valve overlap causing the exhaust note.

I believe if you spend enough time planning the right combination of pieces, you can get a nice sounding idle and great offroad power.

Thanks for the info. Are you volunteering? I don't know jack about this stuff. All my engines have always been stock. This engine, stock, should have 9.0:1 compression.

I don't mind helping. Before I built the 393W for my rig (in snipes243 now) I had a plan for a 302 with pretty much stock heads and bottom end that should pump out about 300ftlbs of torque from 2k-5k. And it would have a wicked idle. Not sure if that is the direction you want or not.

That is what I am going for. That is some sweet torque values in the low range. Any way the mid range HP can me moved down about 500-1000 RPM? Is this the FRR E303?

That is my "secret weapon" cam. The particular simulation was a flat tappet cam with EB heads. I'll tinker with some different cam grinds and see what we can come up with. BTW...That engine would be more of a "Welch" style engine meant to be driven with the balls out.

Also if I remember correctly, the engine that used to be in Carl's burgundy Bronco was a late model roller with Trick Flow heads and cam. Turn up the volume and watch the video...

Here are a few charts for a .030 over 10:1 short block with stock E7 casting heads and roller cams. I looked up the Comp 266HR, B303, E303, Stage 1 Trick Flow, and Comp XE270HR. All should have a little bump to the idle with the exception of the 266HR, but should work with a stock converter.

I like the torque curve of both the B303 and the E303. The XE270 made more horsepower, but looks like it may be lacking below 2k rpm.

this is starting to sound like our 306, however the cam aint that impressive...more like a RV cam. I think Shawn's mustang 306 has a e303 cam in it...sounds sweet

correction, shawn just told me its a wolverine which is close to the F303 about .510-.512 lift, a e303 is about .498 lift

I think the E303 or the Comp XE270HR would be the best choices from this list considering the HP and torque levels. Again, I am running a stock 302HO with an unknown time and mileage since rebuild (if any). Jdowns brought a valid point to the table about throwing the engine over the edge with performance upgrades. Does anyone else hae any further thoughts on that subject?
