I had the 35-349-8 in my '90 5.0 but with MAF, it did produce a bit of a noticable idle.. not lopey but dirty.. not quite smooth and idle vacuum was only 16in/hg. It did pass a sniffer test one time but it failed another time and I was never able to figure out why, so I'm not confident it would ever pass with SD. The motor ran strong and made a ton of topend HP but was weaker than stock below 2500rpm.. even with longtube headers.

Good info, what heads were you running? 50 extra cubes might keep tq like stock if used on a 351.

I know people put stupid cams in sd engines (like e303) and refuse to admit they have poor drivability even though they do things like jack the idle up to keep it from stalling. If I had more free time I'd swap this cam in my own 351.

Stock E7 heads. The 351 is a totally different beast I wouldn't hesitate at all to use this cam in a 5.8.
