it's a good cam but is lacking in the lowend torque production. you should be able to get it from jegs or summit. you might be able to special order it from your local auto parts store

If you want to use a Comp XE series cam, the XE250 or XE256 would be really good for low-end power. They would also give you pretty good throttle response and MPG, but they would stop making power over 4500 rpm or so.

the XE268 is pretty tame in a 383......very mild lope, & power just up off idle. I shift mine @ 5800-6000 under full throttle. that same cam in a 350 will be a little more "rowdy", & will like about 2500 on the stall with an auto trans. If you have 3.73-4.10 gears,& a loose converter the cam will work good in a 350....i do agree that low end power will suffer a bit tho(as well as milage). Depening on gearing,& useage I would look at the XE256, or Xe262 for a 355. Good luck,crazyL

mine pulls good to 5500 that's where my tranny shift point is set. it is only rowdy when the motor is cold it'll lope real good, but when it's warmed up you can barely tell it has a cam in it.
