I picked up a 96 explorer 5.0 engine up recently... It has 59k miles on it and is in good shape... I know I have to change water pump, brackets, Etc... I will be switching out the cam, rockers and pushrods, and I have some parts laying around so tell me what you think.. I have a b303 cam, a Cobra intake and miscellanious engine pieces.. Should I swap out the cam and intake, or just the cam, or get a different cam? Whatever I have left over I intend to sell so I just want to hear some opinions, This is just a street car/grocery getter so there will be no porting or other mods... The car recieving this is an 89 Lx 5-spd, it already has a big fuel pump, adj reg, pulleys, full exhaust, 3.73 gears... I am willing to buy a bigger MAF to go with the explorer t-body but I think the stock injectors will be ok... So, what would you do???
