yeah that looks pretty good for a swap table pick up. It looks like I can pick up 50 + HP for around $500. Not to bad of a deal. Then when finances permit I can drop on a set of aftermarket heads and pick up the remainder of the HP.
To recoup costs I probably move the old cast iron heads with the mods for a few bucks.
Thanks guys !!!!!

fantastic collection for all the old ford stock cams
that's what I'm getting using 289stocker with 650carb an dsmall tuber headers&mufflers.
All 1.6 ratio. no idea if that's correct though (ramp rates)

Pity, because either cam is well worth considering, even after all this time.
A few points.
It's not an "NPD cam", Ford introduced the C9OZ-6250-C in 1969. It was deliberately named, to play off the p/n of the 289HP cam, the C3OZ-6250-C. It's a hydraulic cam, carefully designed to follow the same profile, and performance curve, of the 289HP.
A fellow near here decided to upgrade his 67 289, and used a Performer Plus intake, Edelbrock 600 cfm, got a C9OZ-C from Glazier Nolan (and had his distributor recurved by them) and port-matched his heads (his first try). Had it run-in on a dyno, and it turned 321 hp. Not bad for an economy upgrade.

The 289HP cam was stamped VE between the gear and the bearing. No difference between factory and Service Replacement. You can get exact replacements from places like Glazier Nolan, but I'm not aware of any markings on them.

The Ford small block hydraulic cam C90Z6250C was listed in the late 60's Ford Muscle Parts catalog as part of a "Stage 1" build intended to be a step up from stock performance while maintaining good street drivability. I put one in my 351 69 Mach 1 and with some other mods, it was good for 6,000 rpm. I still have it in my 69 Mach.
I am currently planning an engine rebuild, and am reluctant to change the cam unless there is unacceptable wear observed!
