2 things... thats really a chevy grind on a ford stock... should have a little more lift and/or duration on the exhaust side than the intake to compensate for the crappy ford exhaust. the other thing is yours should be a roller cam and thats a flat tappet cam... wont work.

The 268H is a good cam, but is a step backwards from the stock F4TE roller cam. Want to improve it? Add 1.7 full roller rockers to your heads. F4TE specs: 256/266 advertised duration (int/exh) lift is .422/.445. Adding 1.7 rockers boosts this to .445/.473 The LSA for the F4TE is 116*. You can put the 268H in your motor though contrary to what the others said, but you'll loose some power from the increased friction. You'd also need to change the pushrods and lifters. You'll need new pushrods though anyway in a 100,000 + mile motor with a roller cam, they don't get rotated like flat tappet pushrods do, so they wear funny and quicker on the rocker ends.
