Reply to "What Cam?"

George PAdmin.

Dennis,

one additional suggestion I think I should include along with my original comments about the XE274 cam: I believe usage of that cam & associated springs warrants installation of roller rockers. Not necessarily adjustable valve train, but a good set of roller rockers. Ford Motorsport sells a set that bolt down on the pedestals just like the oem rocker assemblies. And finally add to that list 3/8" push rods of the proper length. It is best to install cam, lifters & rockers after the new valves are installed in the heads, the rocker arm geometry is checked and adjusted, and the heads are bolted down, and then use a "test" push rod to determine what length of push rod is needed for your modified valve train. You may luck out & only need an off the shelf size, but odering custom length push rods is no big deal either.

This should give you an idea of the expense & work involved for the cam swap. More than you initially thought I'll bet. Well worth the effort however.
