Ford MS Cam
I have a friend that used to run that cam with the Performer on a 428 in a big Galaxie. It had tons of bottom end torque to smoke the M&Hs, ran high 13’s a little over 100mph. Outstanding torque from 650 to 5,500rpm. The shaft was a little warmer than a stock CJ cam and had a slight lope, should lope better in your 390.

Ford MS Cam
I'm using it with the Performer 390 and an Edelbrock 750, headers, and like you said its got lots of torque, but it doesn't seem to have any "lope". It idles pretty much smooth at 600 rpm. I was told it would have a bit of a rough idle. Wonder why it idles so smooth in my engine?? Timing is set a 10btdc.

It's not listed in the latest Ford Racing catalog. If someone will furnish the specs, I'll do some looking and find one that's similar. Most likely it was made by Crane Cams for Ford, so you could probably get it thru them if so.

This is what the spec card has;
Valve effective
in. ex. @.050 lift
lift[net] .493 .519
duration 282 292 204 214
opens 34 83 -5btc 44bbc
closes 68 29
overlap 63 degrees 29abc -10atc
lash hyd
I also have an Erson cam thats pretty close to this one, and I believe its still listed in the books. I bought my Ford cam back in 89, and just recently installed it after running the Erson, they feel much the same.
