Title: 428 engine rebuild cam question
Post by: newshelby on September 28, 2019, 11:26:29 PM
Hi just a technical question for those of you who know about the 428PI engines. I am the new owner of the 1968 Shelby GT500 that has a rebuilt engine that was done 30 over and most parts look like a standard rebuild but it has this cam which the manufacturer's website says is for a 429 or 460 engine. Is it ok to have this cam put in a 428 PI dated 1968?

You can't install a 429-460 cam in a 352-428 FE.

If you mean the timing events, its about what a stock 428 CJ would be but as said, a 429 can not be used in any FE series engine. They are different series engines.

That product line is the former TRW replacement cam series.
