Bb Ford Fe Cam 260H (Hyd) 352-428

The BB Ford FE cam 260H (Hyd) 352-428 by COMP CAMS is a hydraulic flat-tappet camshaft engineered for big-block Ford FE engines ranging from 352 to 428 cubic inches. This cam is purpose-built for street and moderate performance applications where reliable hydraulic actuation, smooth power delivery, and proven durability are non-negotiable. Whether you're rebuilding a classic muscle car, restoring a vintage truck, or upgrading an existing FE platform, the 260H delivers consistent valve timing and lift characteristics that maximize efficiency without sacrificing streetability.

COMP CAMS' hydraulic design incorporates precision-ground lobes that work seamlessly with hydraulic lifters to automatically compensate for thermal expansion and maintain tight valve clearances across varying engine temperatures and RPM ranges. The 260H profile is optimized for the FE block's bore spacing and valve geometry, providing efficient intake and exhaust events without requiring costly valvetrain upgrades or extensive machine work. Hydraulic actuation eliminates the complexity of manual adjustments, making this cam ideal for engines running stock or mildly modified cylinder heads, intake manifolds, and exhaust systems. The cam's durable steel-alloy construction withstands sustained use and resists lobe wear even under consistent load cycling.

Enthusiasts restoring or modifying Ford FE engines—including 352, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 variants—will appreciate the 260H's plug-and-play compatibility with stock or minimally altered engine architecture. Installation requires standard camshaft replacement procedures: engine removal or block access, lifter extraction, timing cover removal, and proper cam indexing with the crankshaft keyway. Technicians should verify that existing hydraulic lifters are in serviceable condition and confirm that intake manifold and header clearance align with the cam's lobe height and duration. Pair this cam with fresh oil, quality valve covers, and a tune appropriate to the FE's compression ratio for optimal reliability and performance.
