200ci What cam should I get? Bronco

[ActionYobbo]

Going to be starting to build a 200 for a bronco. 30 inch tires. 3.55 differential. C4 auto. I predict most of the engines use will be from idle to 3000 with 2200 to 2400 for driving around. I used a RPM calculator to work out RPM at speeds. Looking for driveability & economy. This will not be an off-roader. I have to drive it 1900 miles to Utah next year for speed week.
I have been reading threads on cams but they are falcon/mustang builds. Not sure what cam to get considering the bigger tires.

Must be a 200 six swap into an early v8 Bronco? That was what they used to call the rv cam in Clifford catalog. Maybe Clifford still has them.

As far as I know it had a 170 that was taken out for a v8 swap then it’s been some ones project for 30 years now my friend has it and wants me to build a 200 or 250 if one can be found. I figured I would start with a cam and build the motor around it

A good stock one!

The six cylinder Broncos had 4:11 gears. The v8 had 3:50.
The six could be ordered with 4:56, not sure about the v8 but probably lower gears could be ordered because it was originally a farm and ranch type vehicle.
What year is this Bronco?
A 200 with a c4 will be a little underwhelming even with 4:11. 4:56 might be ok. Broncos weigh close to 4000 lbs.
I doubt if it had a 170 with the c4 originally so curious how the c4 got in there.
Does it have a Dana 30 upfront?
Some more history would be helpful before you select a motor to build.

No idea exactly what he has. It came in 2 trailer loads. He gave me the info on the drive line he wants to use and I get to put a motor and a transmission together for it. I am not into broncos but I do like my inline 6 fords.

A good stock one!

What year? Were they the same every year?

No, The Tech archive is showing two different cams for the 200 six and one for the 250 six.

Seeing the tech data below, it would hardly matter, but do be aware that 200 cams in a 250 might run into clearance problems. However i think most aftermarket cams would be ground on 250 blanks. Something along the lines of a crowcams(Australia) 63651. I cannot tell you where you might get this, but surely some company in USA would have something similar.https://crowcams.com.au/product/ford-pre-crossflow-hydraulic-4
