Which 400M cam?

I have a 78 F250 4x4 with a 4speed and dana 60s. From any previous experiance what is a good all around cam for street use, off roading, and snowplowing. Thanks for your help.

Most of the cam manufacturers will e-mail you a recommendation for your vehicle if you fill out the form they have online. I know Crower, Crane, and Competition Cams all do this.

Stay away from long duration and wide lobe seperation 114 degrees or more. A shorter duration with some healthy lift will give really good bottom end. A little extra lift on the exhaust side can help out on this motor alot depending on other mods. Chuck P.
