The cam that is in the 306 is a T.F.S. 51402000 Hy roller, 221/225 283/291 112
but I can buy the correct cam.


I want 500 hp. at or below 6000 rpms.

Would this be possible? Good street motor like the one in my Cobra.

An't gonna happen.

It takes quite a bit to make 500hp with a 347 on a "real" dyno....not dyno software or someone's liberal engine dyno.

You can make 500hp, but it will need more than 6000 rpm. A recipe for a sure 500 flywheel horsepower is a set of AFR 185 (or equivilent) heads, around 10.5:1 compression, and a cam with about 236° duration @ .050", peaking at 6500.
