didnt find it... but from an older crane book, heres what i found: h-232/3360-6 is a hydraulic with 304 adv, 232 at 50 and .504 lift,`h` meaning hydraulic BUT
f-278/4002-8 and f-288/4134-8 are 7800 and 8200 rpm SOLIDS one at 600 lift and the other at 620 lift, so f-284 must be in between.just my reasonning. maybe it doesnt make any sense at all! all cams listed are smallblocks btw. f-278/4002-8 and f-288/4134-6 are also bigblock cams with same specs as the small blocks, using different part numbers. probably same lobes between sb and bb.


fully legal sounds the same as full illegal...

Greetings, this is an F-284 mechanical (solid) lifter Crane camshaft from the late 1960's. It's a single pattern camshaft with 284 degrees advertised duration, and 241 degrees duration at .050" tappet lift. Lobe lift is .302", gross valve lift with 1.5:1 rocker arms is .453". Lobe separation is 112.5 degrees. Recommended valve lash at operating temperature is .028" intake, .032" exhaust. This should have a fair idle, with a basic rated RPM range from 2600 to 6000 RPM. Regards, Chase
