Help with cam selection on engine.
The old 5.0l in my 93 F150 has seen better days and it's time to finally get serious about its replacement. The truck has an E4OD 31x10.5 3.55 and 4x4. I mostly use it for chasing parts, going to Menards and towing my car trailer.
I have a 94 5.8l sitting on the engine stand that I plan on freshening up and doing a roller cam conversation. Other than that it will be fairly stock for now. Down the road possibly intake and heads. I also have everything to convert the truck from SD to MAF just haven't found the time to do it. Now for the cam I am considering a Comp Cams 35-308-08. Does anyone have any input on that cam or or a better suggestion.

That's a nice cam for a 5.8, the motor could really use better heads and intake but even without that you'll have a big power upgrade over the 5.0. My truck was 3 seconds faster 0-60 with a similarly equipped 5.8 in it compared to the 5.0 it has now, and that 5.0 would totally spank the 5.0 you're taking out.
