Are All Modular Camshafts the same?

[hllon4whls]

This is something I want to know for my own info. I am talking apples for apples here.

Lets set the parameters. 02 2v Mod motor same plant. Lets say windsor.

Does the crownvic, explorer, F-150 and mustang all use the same camshaft?

I am talking about lift, duration, part numbers all the same. I know they are interchangable, but are they the same?

I called an aquaintance at a dealership and I think he gave me Romeo vs Windsor part numbers.

If anyone works at the dealership or has an easy way to look up part numbers, that would help.

Give me a couple of days at work and i will give you answers

The Cams are exactly the same for lift, duration and LSA. The only difference between Romeo and Windsor cams is that the Windsor cams use a pressed on cam gear while the Romeo's are bolt on.

What he said^^^ , although the part #'s are different.

I am not banned. It is a moniker that was thrust upon me.

Why would the same camshaft have different part numbers?

I am also surprised that the cams are the same. It seems that the 4.6 in the truck would have 260 hp. Good engineers should be able to tune a good torque curve.

I got into it with a poster on a truck forum about this post. Aparently, I was the one that was wrong, but the guy didnt have to be a jerk about it.

Its FORD remember!

 

[hllon4whls]

I am surprised that Ford decided to use the same camshaft for so many applications. I am dissapointed that the non-mustang apps are not running 260hp. It seems that they could make the torque and make th 260 at the same time.

not without vct. the runner length required for torque has nothing past 5000. chevy just gears theirs to make up for it. 5.3 has 325lb-ft. 295 hp. 5.4 ford 365lb-ft 300hp(manual tranny only). but only with VCT.

or a true variable intake. not like a cobra(96-98) but mid length and long, instead of short and long. vct takes care of it.


i drove an 05 GT today and it has loads of off-idle torque.

 

[hllon4whls]

Well, any words of wisdom to add mustangman?

 

[stangGT97]

Bill is right, pop the hood of an F-150 and you will see that the intake manifold is way different than that of a Mustang 4.6. It was designed for low end torque, not top end pull. The camshafts/heads are the same though between 4.6s (of the same year). Also, I don't think that the title "Modular" has anything to do with the interchangability of parts, although many parts are in fact the same between motors.

Don't forget the trucks are losing some Hp with the more restrictive exhaust and a less agressive EEC tune.

 

[hllon4whls]

I am not doubting any info here. I was hoping for some specific part numbers. Its ok now. My concern has been thoroughly answered.

29 hp is not that bad of a loss for a truck, when you step back and think about it.
