Camshaft suggestions are welcome

I think I mis typed- the XE 282HR is the one I was thinking of but my fat fingers have a mind of their own sometimes.....
Great cam for your purposes and pretty reasonably priced.
Comp also has the cam available as a kit with everything you need to install it including lifters, timing chain, the whole nine yards....

Thanks.
I checked out XE282HR and noticed a few things. It is made for the engine family: Ford 5.0 1982 - 2001. My engine is a 1969 351W. I think that will not fit.
This camshaft has a lift of .574" (exhaust). My heads have a max. lift of .575". That is very close to the max.

My engine has 42 cid more than the standard 351W. This means the powerband will drop by appr. 420rpm when I install a 351W camshaft in my stroker.
How about this camshaft:

• XE274H

It will fit. I promise. All 302/351 cams will interchange, you just have to pay attention to firing orders and this one is ok.

Also trust me on this, with 392, this cam will peak at around 5800. If you go to a bigger cam (which BTW, an XE274 is not a bigger cam) you'll be pushing a hydraulic roller a little higher than what I'm comfortable with.

Why do you say the lift is too much? Because of coil bind clearance or piston/valve clearance?
