Hey Doug, what rockers did you use, did you have to change springs as recommended, and did stock push rods work?
It's tough to beat the stock grind of the Explorer cam.
Used the spring kit that that comes with the Cam, when you buy that package... Stayed with the rockers from the E7 Ford cast iron heads.
These two cams efi guy mentions are about as big as I would go in a bronco running a 347 or 351. On a 302 build I would consider smaller. Call comp and edelbrock and see what they say but keep the specs on these two in mind. Also pay attention to LSA if planning to run EFI.
The stock Explorer cam is great for low-end torque and idles well.
The Comp 35-308-8 is a great cam as well. It has a little more lift than GT40 heads can take advantage of, but it's still great for the low-end.
The Comp 35-349-8 is another good choice. It's a perfect match for GT40 heads and gains just a smidge more on the top end, I usually recommend it for the 351 guys.
But, either of those cams are going to require a spring upgrade for sure which adds to cost. When it comes to dollars per Ft LBS. on the lowend, I'm not sure either is worth the extra cost over the stock Explorer cam.
