I'm putting together a new 460 for my pickup and I've got it narrowed down to two:
Comp Cams #34-235-4 218/226,.514/.524, 111
Crane #353942 216/228, .518/.513, 112
The truck's 2WD, 4500#, 9.5:1 compression, mild cleanup on the exhaust ports, 3.55:1, C6,stock converter, headers,weiand stealth, 600cfm, It needs to tow, good vacuum, 14's in the quarter  , and decent mileage(in that order)------------------
1968 Mustang,Clevor,C4
1969 Torino 351C 4spd
1978 F150 460 C6
1978 F150 351W C6

If you end up picking from the two you have narrowed it down to, I would suggest the Comp. Better numbers on the exhaust side of it. I'm sure you've noticed that you could drop a tennis ball down the intake ports and even though you've cleaned up the exhaust side, these motors really respond to anything to aid the exhaust. ------------------

Alex, isn't the 268 a symmetrical cam? Will it perform as well as an asymmetrical? ------------------

In your application yes. I used to install 268H's in MKVII's and 73-76 460 T-Birds. WOW, what a difference. ------------------

Alex, What cam would you suggest if I had a set of worked cobra jet heads, pop-up pistons. I want to shift at around 5800-6200 and not gonna spin the motor more than 6500 rpms.
