Default Cam for 401M

I need a cam for a 401M. Would a cam from the other v6's would work or would the profiles not be correct?

Default Re: Cam for 401M

A cam from any Magnum V6 be correct that would include the 351E, 351M, 432 and 478M V6 engines, or a custom ground cam which I can give you the specs for. There are a few members on this site using the custom grind that I have

I can send you the specs, you will still need a cam as a core.

Unfortunately my cam has rust damage in the worm gear area so I don't think it would be a good core. Would a core from a 305A work? I would like to see the profile on the custom cam you mentioned.

No. I looked them up on the web and Paul's Empire Head Shop is in Santa Rosa and I talked to Paul.

Real interesting! Paul is the one that did all the machine work on my 478M and sent the cam out to have it reground. What did Paul have to say to you?
