E cam....

[stang2841]

well I got every other mod but cam and heads...


I dont got 1000 dollars for heads... and I dont want to go the cheap route and get explorer heads and port em out..


so I was wondering would a E cam benefit my combo? I'd upgrade springs and maybe throw in some rockers... but would I get any gains? and Would it shift up my powerband? thats what I'm going for with the Typhoon intake..


how much would it cost? what rockers should I look into getting?

Trick flow cam, or a B-303 with 1.7's.. power will be in the 3000's

I wouldn't do a cam on stock E7's. You won't see much gain and that is alot of work for minimal gains. The stock cam is a good cam for stock heads.

 

[stang2841]

well its that or swing about 1400 for cams and heads... or about 400ish for cam work...


that being said... B cam with 1.7 rockers?


what would the lift be on that set up?

 

[mustangramair]

The lift on a B cam with 1.7's is .510

 

[stang2841]

whats that like on a stock heads?


6-10rwhp? with Rockers? maybe more?

moved up power band?

well im actually planning on taking my stock heads out and getting them rebuilt and ported, new springs and roller rockers, and using a trick flow stage one cam, ive heard you can expect gains up to 30-40hp doing that, plus it wouldnt cost too terribly much...

ohh i forgot, thumper heads are pretty good, a guy rebuilds stock e7 heads and ports them, heres the website:

All roads lead to the heads....

i heard this and that would not be enough for me and all that work for a cam swap alone is not worth it,and also explorer heads have bigger valves wich is way better than stock.

Also the Explorer heads (GT40-P's) are not bad heads. There are lots of people out there making 260-270 rwhp and 330 lb-ft of torque with P heads and the stock HO cam - with the rest of the system upgraded to (int/exh).

yea but with the GT40P's u have to buy new headers from ford because the spark plug holes get covered or something by the stock ones. u will need new plugs too, denso iridium are good plugs that wont blow out so u will gain some more revs in ur motor as well with a good ignition.
