COMP Cams Camshaft FW 270H-R10

If you're looking to wake up the engine in your 1985 Ford LTD, this COMP Cams FW 270H-R10 camshaft is a solid choice for mild street performance. It's designed to give you a noticeable step up from stock, with a bit of that classic, slightly loping idle that many enthusiasts appreciate, while still being manageable for daily driving. This camshaft is a great option if you're looking to replace an old, worn-out factory roller camshaft and want a bit more character and responsiveness from your 5.0L engine.

This is a hydraulic roller camshaft, which means it's designed for smoother operation and better performance compared to older flat-tappet designs. The grind profile, with its 215 degrees of intake and exhaust duration at .050 lift, offers a good balance for street use. While it can work with your stock torque converter and rear gears, you'll see the best results and a more responsive feel if you pair it with a torque converter that has at least an 1800 RPM stall speed and consider lower rear axle gears to keep the engine in its powerband.

When installing this camshaft, remember that it's intended for Ford 5.0 and 351W engines that originally came with roller camshafts. It's important to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, especially regarding break-in procedures, to ensure the longevity of the camshaft and the rest of your valvetrain. This part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
