Bb Ford Fe Cam 280H (Hyd) 352-428

The BB Ford FE Cam 280H (Hyd) 352-428 by COMP CAMS is a hydraulic flat-tappet camshaft engineered for classic big-block Ford FE platform engines spanning 352 to 428 cubic inches. This cam is built for restorers, hot rodders, and enthusiasts seeking reliable, street-friendly performance without the complexity of solid-lifter conversion. The 280H designation indicates a moderate lift and duration profile optimized for daily drivability, making it an ideal choice for stock-block builds or mildly modified FE engines that demand consistent power delivery across the RPM range.

COMP CAMS' hydraulic design utilizes self-adjusting lifters to maintain zero valve lash automatically, eliminating the need for frequent valve adjustments that plague solid-lifter setups. The 280H profile delivers increased valve overlap and lift compared to stock FE camshafts, improving breathing without sacrificing low-rpm torque or fuel economy. This cam works seamlessly with factory or aftermarket intake manifolds and stock-style pushrods, making installation straightforward on original engine blocks. The forged steel construction ensures durability under sustained performance use, while the hydraulic lifter design provides reliability and quiet operation—critical advantages when building a vintage cruiser or restoration project.

This camshaft is ideal for anyone upgrading a 352, 390, 406, 410, or 428 FE engine who wants noticeable performance gains without full engine rebuilding. It pairs well with stock or mildly ported cylinder heads, a quality four-barrel carburetor or fuel injection system, and a free-flowing exhaust. Installation requires proper timing, clearance verification with your valvetrain components, and use of quality cam lube during break-in. The BB Ford FE Cam 280H (Hyd) 352-428 is the mechanical foundation for transforming a stock big-block Ford into a capable street performer while maintaining the reliability and simplicity that classic FE engines are known for.
