Thanks! The last hint that it could have been Clevite helped alot. I found the specs!
its 204 in, 214 ex @ 0.50 107 in lobe center and 110 ex lobe senter with 490/516 lift. So now a follow up question... Will this cam work well with ported D3VE heads and flat top pistons? I'm also going for an Edelbrock RPM intake and a 750 carb on top and headers. I'm looking for a strong reliable cruiser with some grunt for the few trackdays I get in. mid 13s would be awesome in the 4100 lbs Torino.
Not really. Too much static c/r for the short timing events. Get a larger cam or lower the compression ratio to 9 to 1...

Back in the 90's and oughts' Ford Performance had a cam upgrade for the EFI 460's
204 / 216 on a 114 ish
487" / 512" lift
110 ICL.

Crane ground most of their cams at that time.

We do something similar using our VooDoo tooling.
207 / 219 on a 113 in at 109
.490" / .530" lift.

The VooDoo lobe have more area under the curve.



This is a textbook example of an RV type cam.

Please clarify this question?

STD port 8012 stealth.
I've chatted via email with him.

Edit for correction

Stealth intake..
@Hugefordfan (original comment started in an old thread, post #9) "Hey scotty...I just bought a motor home with the f.i. 460 in it...I'm thinking of pulling the top end off and adding "C" heads along with a stealth intake and shorty headers....what cam would you suggest?"

Told him to nix the stealth.
I mixed him up with another conversation.
I believe he was referring to the std stealth not the cj.

How much smaller are the non CJ ports on a stealth? How much does it change the ideal operating range of the engine?

The Non CJ stealth has massive runner cross section just like the CJ version.
It is simply necked down at the runner exit for a std port.
There is not enough meat to make it a CJ runner exit as the casting is slightly smaller about an inch in from the flange.
