Been lurking since I'll be doing 347 stroker here shortly.
Curious how you liked the 35-349 cam in your truck, how was power band and did it fall off, come into power late or keep pulling whole rpm range? Seems that most recommended cam but not alot of feedback on how it drives.

It would be for weekend toy, ford explorer chassis with rat rod body, I think more cubes should lower rpm band a little. Sounds like it may work, no towing, and I planned on 4.88 with 34s when I get it done.
Had explorer cam before with Windsor Jr heads, want bigger cam, specially with more cubes, and rev a little higher, though old combo pulled down low good.

My options are limited at places like Summit and JEGS. Regardless of what gear I've been running, decided to opt to a steel cam. Lunati and Howards have a bit of a lead time for a custom ground, so I pulled the trigger on a FRP X303. I could certainly use a bit more lift and duration, and will undoubtedly cork the engine. 112 LSA should be OK for being able to tune with a QH and MAF conversion. With 1.7 RR max lift will be about 0.570, which isn't terrible. I'll get a custom grind next year for when I ditch the stock 351 intake. We'll see how the cam and dizzy gears hold up, but I'm hopeful because for now I'm using the stock 351 dizzy and the X303 is same material as the original roller cam, at least I think.

I realize there's differing information floating around, not saying right or wrong, so I'll run my setup above and get back to you all down the road.

Well when you get the cam you'll know which core was used. I've never seen one that was ground on a stock factory core only SADI. It is possible that has changed too you never know..

Ford Racing Performance X303 on top.
Comp 35-349 bottom.
Looks clear to me the X303 is billet steel. I'm going to run the stock ford roller distributer with stock steel gear and keep an eye on it.

I have 112 LSA with Speed Density(SD), tuning is fine, just another learning curve.
