car is a 1993 cobra

I will probably do a cam swap soon and wanted to let you guys review my list to make sure the part numbers are right and that I have everything I need.

oil & filter -- motorcraft 10w30 & FL-1A
cam -- Crane Powermax 2031
gaskets -- 720-4410K (jeg's mr gasket cam install gasket kit)
lifters -- 36530-16 (Crane) or FMS-M6500R302 (FMS)
valve springs -- 44308-1 (Crane) or FMS-M-6513-A50 (FMS)
timing chain -- 44975-1 (Crane) or FMS-M6268B302 (FMS)

Would you all go with the FMS stuff or the Crane stuff? The Crane stuff is more expensive, but not my too much. Also, it says the crane timing chain my require grinding on the block to fit, does it?

for the crane cam get part number 444226 this comes with the crane 2031 cam, matching spring, retainers, keepers, lube. the whole sha-bang.

ya those crane timing chains are pretty expensive compared to the ford. i was planning on getting the ford racing A302 timing chain set.
