hydrolic cam and lifter question

I have an edelbrock hydrolic cam and lifter set that's for a 289, 302. When i bought my ford, the cam was brand new still in the box. The truck came with a 351w. The question is.....can i use that cam with no problems, in my 351w.

thats the performer cam and the lift should be .448 in .472 ex with 1.6 rockers kinda small for a 351W....but will give you great off idle torque

All depends what firing order the cam is. if it's a 302 than you would use the 302 firing order. The ignition timing would be for the 351W or where ever it runs the best. I like to advance the timing far enough until it starts to pining than I retard it a little.

you want the key that is right in the middle of the mark.... I think it has a (0) (V) and a square... look at each of them and the one that is centered on the tooth is the one you want.

you want 0 degrees.... Straight up...
