I am in the middle of building a 5.0 for my bronco. The 5.0 came out of a 92 mustang. It has the stock compression and I am putting gt-40 heads on it. It will be driven around town and up in the back country when I go fishing and camping. What cam should I run in it? I would like it to have some nice low end to it. The bronco has 435 trans in it with 37s and 4.56 gears any thoughts on this would be a big help.

Check and see if you can get a stock Explorer cam, I love mine and another one is the Ford E303

E303 might be a little too much, it likes 900 rpm idle... great in my track mustang, but a little much for low RPM wheeling

I had the Explorer cam in my 75 and the Mustang cam in my 77, both worked fine for me...
