Ford V8 351 Windsor Hydraulic Camshaft 247/247@50

Ford V8 351 Windsor enthusiasts chasing serious street/strip performance will find this hydraulic flat tappet camshaft a compelling upgrade. Built for high-RPM aggression without a mechanical lifter touch, it’s designed to unleash noticeable power in capable builds while demanding careful supporting work.

What makes it stand out

• Part No. 62802 — a focused grind tuned for the 3700–6500 RPM power window
• Advertised duration: 298° intake / 298° exhaust
• Duration @.050”: 247° intake / 247° exhaust
• With 1.62 rocker: valve lift approximately.550" intake /.548" exhaust
• Lobe separation angle: 109°
• Cam type: Hydraulic Flat Tappet
• Designed for Ford V8 351 Windsor engines in max performance street/strip applications
• Measured lash specified as Hydraulic (hot)

Power and drivability candidates

This cam is tailored for engines that are heavily tuned beyond stock, where mid-to-upper RPM power is the objective. Expect strong throttle response and improved top-end pull in capable builds that can support a 3700–6500 RPM range. It’s not a casual daily driver cam; it assumes substantial engine modifications and supporting upgrades.

Installation and compatibility notes

• Machining is required to fit these components
• Must use performance springs, performance retainers, and performance seal
• Converter stall speed should be equal to or greater than the cam’s minimum power-range RPM (typical guidance calls for 3500+ stall in compatible builds)

Suggested setup considerations

Pairing this cam with the right hardware helps you hit the intended RPM band and achieve the advertised performance. Plan for a high-stall torque converter and compatible valve train components to support the hydraulic flat tappet design and lift values shown above. This combination is well-suited for enthusiasts aiming to maximize a Ford 351 Windsor’s street-legal strip potential while maintaining driveability in a properly prepared engine package.
