Been looking for answers but I can seem to find,
Have a 68 / 390 4V - 315 hp from a 68 LTD and want to change the camshaft,
Question - is a stock 390 2 barrel have the same camshaft as a stock 390 4 barrel engine?, as am looking at one on Rock auto but it's a 2 barrel ad.

I can say for sure, but I'd doubt they are the same. If you're replacing the cam why not change it to something more modern. A more modern grind should be more efficient and provide better performance. You'll need new lifters and possibly new springs, depending on the cam specs. The timing set will be due for a change too.
