Summit sells them. 540.00 for the set. But you will need new beehive style valve springs.

Theres a good chance those cams from Comp are not off the shelf parts. They might be special order.

I'd love to have a set in my truck.

Blow By Racing in Florida is doing a set of regrinds for me right now, for a 3 valve V-10 project I'm doing. It'll spin safely to 7500 rpm...... The same profile on a V-8 motor has a pretty lumpy idle, can't wait to hear them on a V-10

Exact pricing isn't written in stone yet, but going to be around $700.00 for the cams + whatever for the CNC work, new valve train etc.... I expect it to be around 4 grand for the complete package.

I've heard (on here) that Comp Cams is making blanks. You have to get them custom ground to whatever you want, although I'm sure they do have some recommendation for that.

$350 per cam isn't all that bad, actually...

I take it by "CNC Work" you mean porting?

Sounds like a sweet project.

For 2 valve only, unless something has changed recently.

It seems EVERYTHING is for the 2v V10! When is FORD gonna wake up...and, okay, the aftermarket, and give 3v V10 owners some performance parts?! Doesn't Ford Racing Performance Parts still exist? V10s, both 2v&3v hold a lot of untapped potential. You can't tell me others don't see this fact, too. Come on now!

The problem is 30 or so guys on this forum aren't a "market" especially when there's Mustangs, etc to deal with.

Ford Racing does make a set of headers for the 3V V-10 though, so thats a start.

There are a heck of a lot more than 30 3v V10 owners around the country, however. A set of headers is a good start, but that's probably where their offerings will end. It's good to know they offer SOMETHING, I guess. I encountered a similar problem with my EFI460 back in '94. Everybody offered many pieces for the EFI5.0L&5.8L truck engines, but the big 460 was ignored.

If you guys want, you can all send me $100 and I'll take one for the team and order a set and let you guys know if it's worth it. I just want to help out.
