Ford 351w Cam 268H (Hyd)

The COMP Cams Ford 351W Cam 268H (Hyd) is a hydraulic flat-tappet camshaft designed for street and strip performance in classic Ford 351 Windsor engines. This camshaft is ideal for builders looking to enhance valve lift and duration while maintaining the simplicity of hydraulic lifters. It provides improved throttle response and better airflow across the RPM range, making it suitable for both restoration projects and performance upgrades.

The 268H cam features a 268-degree duration specification measured at 0.050-inch valve lift, optimizing cylinder filling and scavenging. Its hydraulic actuation allows for automatic lash adjustment, reducing maintenance needs compared to solid-roller alternatives. The cam is manufactured with precision to ensure consistent performance across all cylinders, which is crucial for smooth idle and reliable power delivery in both carbureted and EFI applications.

This camshaft is particularly beneficial for street-driven 351 Windsor engines that utilize stock or mildly modified valvetrain components, including original hydraulic lifters and factory timing chains. Proper installation requires attention to core support preparation and lifter inspection to prevent wear. Many builders choose to pair the 268H cam with fresh lifters to maximize performance and reliability.
