Choosing the Right Camshaft for a Ford 351 Cleveland
The best camshaft for a Ford 351 Cleveland depends on the full engine combination, not just the advertised duration or how tough the idle sounds. A 351C with factory 2V heads, street compression, dual-plane intake and street gearing needs a very different camshaft to a 4V Cleveland, 393 stroker, 408 stroker, solid roller race engine or high-RPM drag race combination.
Total Performance stocks an excellent range of Ford 351 Cleveland camshafts for, rebuilds, Cruising, street, street/strip, race, marine and custom engine builds. Our range includes hydraulic flat tappet cams, the popular hydraulic roller cams, solid flat tappet cams and solid roller camshafts from leading brands including Comp Cams, Crow Cams, Lunati and Edelbrock.
351 Cleveland 2V, 3V and 4V Camshaft Selection
Ford Cleveland engines are sensitive to cylinder head, compression and RPM range. A 2V Cleveland usually responds well to a camshaft that builds strong low-to-mid range torque for street use, cruising and weekend performance. A 4V Cleveland can support more RPM and airflow, but it still needs the right cam, compression, manifold, exhaust and gearing to work properly. Bigger is not automatically better, despite what someone’s mate said in a shed in 1998.
For CHI 3V heads, alloy heads, stroker combinations and higher-output Cleveland builds, camshaft choice becomes even more important. The correct lobe separation, duration, lift, valve spring package and RPM range need to match the engine’s airflow, compression and intended use.
Hydraulic Flat Tappet, Hydraulic Roller or Solid Roller?
Hydraulic flat tappet camshafts remain a popular option for mild to strong street 351 Cleveland builds due to cost effectivness. They are cost-effective and work well when matched with the correct lifters, valve springs, break-in oil and proper camshaft break-in procedure.There are break in/running in woes' though and must be mentioned, there is a high probability of loosing a lobe/wiping a lobe if you dont use high quality lifters. Speak to one of our highly experienced engine builders today about how to negate this issue.
Hydraulic roller camshafts are a strong upgrade for many Cleveland builds are now the most popular. They reduce lifter friction, allow more aggressive lobe profiles and can improve power and reliability when installed with the correct roller lifters, valve springs, pushrods and timing components. No more wiped lobes with a hydraulic roller cam set up.
Solid flat tappet and solid roller camshafts suit more serious street/strip, drag, circuit, marine and high-RPM Cleveland combinations. These cams require more accurate setup, including valve lash, spring pressure, retainer clearance, pushrod length and regular maintenance checks.
What to Check Before Buying a 351 Cleveland Camshaft
Before ordering a Ford 351C camshaft, check your engine size, cylinder heads, compression ratio, intake manifold, carburettor or EFI setup, exhaust, transmission, converter stall, diff gears, vehicle weight and intended RPM range. These details decide whether the camshaft will drive properly, make power where you need it, and survive in the engine.
A camshaft that is too large can kill low-speed torque, reduce vacuum, make the car lazy off the line and force changes to the converter, gearing and valve springs. A properly matched Cleveland camshaft will usually make the car faster, easier to drive and more reliable than simply choosing the biggest grind on the page.
Matched Valve Springs, Lifters and Pushrods Matter
A 351 Cleveland camshaft should be matched with the correct lifters, valve springs, retainers, locks, pushrods and timing set. Spring pressure, installed height, coil bind clearance, retainer-to-seal clearance and rocker geometry all need to be checked during assembly.
If you are upgrading from a flat tappet camshaft to a hydraulic roller or solid roller setup, do not assume your old valve springs, pushrods or timing components are suitable. The wrong supporting parts can cause valve float, lifter failure, poor power or engine damage. That is not performance. That is just donating money to a machine shop.

Ford 351 Cleveland Camshaft FAQ
What is the best camshaft for a Ford 351 Cleveland?
The best camshaft depends on your engine combination. A street 351C with 2V heads generally needs a different camshaft to a 4V Cleveland, CHI-headed engine, 393 stroker, 408 stroker or solid roller race engine. Compression, gearing, converter stall, cylinder heads and intended RPM range all matter.
Is a hydraulic roller camshaft worth it in a 351 Cleveland?
A hydraulic roller camshaft can be a strong upgrade for a 351 Cleveland. It can reduce friction, support more aggressive lobe profiles and improve performance when matched with the correct roller lifters, valve springs, pushrods and timing components.
Do I need new valve springs with a new Cleveland camshaft?
Usually, yes. The valve springs need to match the camshaft lift, RPM range and lobe profile. Incorrect springs can cause valve float, lifter problems, poor power or engine damage. Always check spring pressure, installed height and clearance before final assembly.
Can I use the same camshaft for 2V and 4V Cleveland heads?
Sometimes, but it is not always the best choice. 2V and 4V Cleveland heads have different airflow characteristics, so the ideal camshaft can change depending on the head, compression, manifold, exhaust and RPM target.
Can Total Performance supply a custom 351 Cleveland camshaft?
Yes. Total Performance can help with custom Ford 351 Cleveland camshafts for street, strip, race, marine, turbo, supercharged and stroker combinations. Contact the team with your engine details and performance target.
