What type of valvetrain setup does this camshaft use?

This camshaft features a solid flat tappet valvetrain. This design is known for its durability under high lift and duration but requires precise setup and regular maintenance, including proper lubrication and break-in procedures.

What stall speed torque converter is recommended for this camshaft?

For a 460 cubic inch engine, a 4500 RPM stall speed torque converter is recommended. For a 429 cubic inch engine, a 5000 RPM stall speed torque converter is suggested to effectively utilize the camshaft's powerband.

Can this camshaft be used in a street-driven vehicle?

This camshaft is specifically designed for high-performance marine and drag racing applications. Its aggressive profile, high compression requirement, and need for a high stall converter make it unsuitable for typical street use and it is not CARB approved.

Product Details

This COMP Cams FF 310B-8 camshaft is built for Ford Big Block 429 and 460 engines, specifically targeting marine and drag racing use. It's a solid flat tappet design, meaning it uses a traditional lifter setup that requires careful setup and maintenance but can handle aggressive valve lift and duration. This camshaft is intended for high-performance builds, often paired with tunnel ram intake manifolds and requiring a high stall torque converter – think 4500 RPM for a 460 cubic inch engine or 5000 RPM for a 429. You'll want at least 11:1 compression to make the most of its aggressive profile.

Designed for applications like jet boats, hydroplanes, or flat bottom river racers, this cam offers a 270/276 degree duration split. The 'SFTBBF' in its designation points to a Solid Flat Tappet, Big Block Ford application. Given its performance-oriented nature, it's best suited for engines built for maximum power output where durability under extreme conditions is key. Remember, this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
