another cam question...
first off...anyone ever heard of Falcon cams, or cam kits??? the wonderous ebay has them, very reasonably priced,
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Ford-351W-race-ul...QQcmdZViewItem
any other suggestions for a cam?? i want a nice lope at idle, but not sacrifice daily driver status, decent power throughout the range. it'll be matched with long tube headers, performance carb and intake(not chosen yet) and that's about it... thanks for your thoughts!!

That cam will have a real good lope at idle, bit too much for a daily driver and if your running an automatic you should think about a higher stall converter. I would run a rpm intake with a 600vs holley and do some port work if your running stock heads......
take a look at the 270H cam by Comp, I'm running the 270S and I love it, has a nice lope and it pulls right off idle.
All depends what you wont from your truck, gears, transmission, tire size etc. Like Blurry94 said.... call a cam grinder with all the specs see what they say.....

thanks. i will look into the 270H, i checked out the 268 last night, it looks like it would work for me too.
Blurry, that'd be a good idea, but i'm not sure there is anywhere around here that does cam-grinding. is there a "mail away" place i could check out??

From the eBay item description:
"Cam can be Melling, Clevite. Timing is Comp or Cloyes. Retainers are Falcon. Locks are Pioneer. Gaskets are Fel Pro or Victor. Lube is Permatex, Crane, or Comp. Lifters are Federal Mogul or Falcon."
Looks like you could order six of them and get six different kits...
