Seems like you got a good start. I am no expert but I have built a few BBF's and have tried a few different cams. What are you going to do with the boat? What kind of exhaust? That cam seems a bit small especially if your going to be running two 750dp's. I really like solid rollers on BBF's. I ran a small one with great sucess, but they are pricey. If your going to run headers get a bigger cam(maybe something like this comp cam 34-241-5 )))00000000000099)99 .) I ran this small roller with a tunnel ram and 2- 750Dps Comp Cams 34-700-9 [5] . Hope this helps. I am sure (Lakesonly) or others will chime in with better advice.

I'm running bassett through transom headers. The description on this cam (34-241-5) says I need to run headers with it. Also says head modificaion is required..What modification???? So now I need to know what direction to go, do I run the Comp 34-241-5, or do I run the Crane 354551? Suggestions??
John
Dang nobody else? The head modification is probabley refering to double springs( have to be machined for this) and adjustable valve train( Which I am assuming you already have). I would run anything bigger than the crane. I vote for the Comp Cam. Try this website if nobody else replys 460 Ford Forum

Hey nos, I'm going to go ahead and order the cam this week. I talked to Paul (lakesonly) last week, talk about a guy that knows his stuff.
Turtle, yeah I have 99% of the parts just making sure I was running the right combo, thanks for suggestions and opinions.

Now much HP do you think it will make, I love to hear these answers..
450-475
Sound about right Jim?
maybe a little more than that, I don't know much about that camshaft????

if you get it all right it should be somewere in the mid 500s.... depends on ports,ignition type,how good the carbs are? and timing/quality of the build/machine work and getting the cam in the right spot..
Ran it on Desktop Dyno just for fun. I used my flow numbers on my Ported C8VEs with 2.19, 1.76 valves. The first one is with the Crane Cam. the second one is with a Torque monster Small Solid Roller Comp 280AR-10

THATS GOOD FOR STARTERS I would have liked to see the compression a little higher
