    Picked up an 88 motor. Should I go MAF?

    Is there any reason for me to switch to Mass Air? I plan on running a mild(probably B) cam, an inexpensive head(probably ported stock or explorer) Exhaust (x or h pipe with gutted cats) and CAI. This is going to be a daily drvier and not taken to the track. I want this engine to last several...

    Well, I picked it up and its an 88, grrrrrrrrr.. I can't complain because its free. Looks like I'll be doing a MAF conversion. It also didn't come with a cam which isn't a problem because I was going to go with a pretty mild cam anyways.(Probably a B cam)

    So it looks like the engine on the 89-92 is pretty much the same. The engine I am getting is an 89. Do I need to get any particular year(s) donor? 89-92 seems right. I will be using the AOD tranny, all wiring , brakes, rear, etc. Essentially everything needed for a 2.3 4 cyl to 5.0 swap. My...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    For some reason a search for all posts by Dan'l results in 97 matches when he's made over 1500......grrrrrrrr. I tried searching for over an hour. The only thing I did find is that he regrets milling 0.060 over. :D I think that's plenty enough to keep me satisfied @ 0.040 over regardless of...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    Dude. Pop that head off there your self. It's a piece of cake. Then, don't take it to that guy! ~$150-$200 should cover disassemble, hot-tank, mill, valve job, and reassemble. Another $80 for head bolts and head gasket. Keep telephoning. There are better deals to be found. What about...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    The guy who owns the shop told me that it will run about a grand to disassemble the engine, do all the work(mill .40) (minus porting the head.) all parts including the cam. and reassembly. He said it would be in the range of 140hp. He recommended not porting the heads because the compression...

    Ok, on that advice I will. There is a shop about an hour from here that gets 130RWHP out of these motors on a regular basis.(Or so I'm told)
