Stewart, The cam isn't part of the kit.

The kit usually consists of a crank, Rods and pistons...sometimes rings/bearings etc.

The HO engine uses a hydraulic rollor cam..the earlier, pre 86 I think, used flat hydraulic follower cams. The difference in the cams is the base circle. The earlier flat hydraulic cams can be fitted to HO blocks but earlier blocks need a conversion kit available from the cam companies to run hydraulic rollor cams.

If you're looking at 6000RPM tops then the hydraulic rollor is what you want. You will want better heads than the standard HO heads which strangle a standard 302.

Stroker kit, good cam and good heads and you will have a screamer.

If you're using the standard ford EFI you'll need to change a few things.
