What kind of cam bearings do I need for a FE engine?
Cam bearings for FE engines are babbit lined and are manufactured by either Durabond or Federal- Mogul. Standard center-oiler FE blocks all use the same cam bearing set. The inside diameters are identical, but outside diameters get smaller as you go farther back into the block.
Can you use roller cam bearings on a 460 engine?
Roller cam bearings have been occasionally used in Super Stock level engine builds. The aftermarket blocks have additional material in the cam tunnel, making installation easier. The parts designed for 460-style engines can be made to work.

In most cases stock valve springs do a good job for stock camshafts. When changing to a high lift Crower performance camshaft, stock springs physi- cally won’t travel the distance your Crower high lift camshaft requires. The spring coils stack solid and the destructive condition called COIL BIND exists.
Is the rear CAM plug installed backwards on a Fe?
The rear cam plug is installed backwards compared to typical engines with the cup side facing outboard.
