Hi all, looking for recomendations on where to get cam from for 447 fe stroker looking for somewhere / someone who can supply hyd roller, would like to be able to get cam lifters and springs etc from the one source as need shipping to the uk so much easier if all coming from one place,

Hello Mick, I had really good experience with Mike Jones - Jones Cam Designs. Super nice guy to deal with and prompt service. Mike is on a few sites known as camking. Good luck cory

Another good fe guy is Brent Lykins he can be found at ford fe technical forum.Doug

X2 on Randy !

I’m sure Survival Motorsports can get you whatever FE stuff you need, they specialize in them.

I tried getting in touch will survival at the start of the build as I was trying to get everything from one place to aid shipping costs but never got a reply and I then tried again for cam etc but still never heard anything back but what I can gather it is notoriously hard to get hold of them, I come across Brent Lykin yesterday via another ford forum so sent him an email and he replied within 15 mins which I wasnt expecting at all especially being over the weekend also, but hopefully he can sort things for me. Thanks for replies guys

At this time there is a giant "Blank Core" problem with a bunch of different engine cams.
Finding a cam company which has that CORE on the shelf or a warehouse with a "catalog" camshaft in stock, is probably the only option, unless you are willing to wait; maybe even a few months.

Sorry to hear that about Survival, ive never personally done any business with them but have always heard that they know their way around an FE. Glad you found someone else willing to help.

Just curious what vehicle are you putting an FE in?

Barry knows FE’s they are his core business and he’s very good with them. He’s just so busy it’s hard to get with him.

Engine going in 63 galaxie, 447 stroker (4.090 × 4.250) scat bottom end edelbrock heads and intake that came on the original 390 now going with custom hydraulic roller by Brent at Lykin motorsport and backed by tremec 5 speed, this being done for a customer

Survival Motorsports are in the process of moving their entire operation to a different location miles away.
Things are going very slowly there until the move and set-up gets complete.
