How big of a lift is you cam? Compression will be fine.

It's really not a good idea to assume anything, you really should check the clearance.

That said, I didn't check the clearance and I've had no issues, compression doesn't move up all that much.

Seriously though, it worked for me and I was lucky, not wise.

Be smarter and check your clearance.

ALWAYS check the clearance, but enough people have done it for it to work... I have even heard of flat tops, and milled E7s!

Its really a hit or miss situation, some people get away with it, and some dont.

You will be fine. E7 any stock HO cam just don’t go aftermarket cam w/out clearance check. The reason I know this is I have a 88 thunderbird and I frequent a t-bird site and this is constantly brought up for HO conversions.
heres a link that might give you more cofidence.

I've seen it go both ways.
