H/C/I Install...

[Strype]

So I have a stock 63,000 mile motor...

I want to buy direct bolt on heads. What all do I need? I've got this so far:

Aluminum Heads
1.7 Rockers (Pedistal or other type?)
B cam
Lifters
Intake



Do I need anything else like a Fuel pump or larger injectors or anythiing

 

[DMAN302]

No, you can definately get away with your stock MAF and injectors for now but I would definately want a large pump in the tank. You're on the right track...except I might jump to a TFS-1 cam over that b cam, but it's all personal preference. You're going to LOVE it buddy...

the B cam pulls hard after 4500 rpm, also dont forget all the gaskets

 

[Strype]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

to what 5500...that doesn't sound like much fun...brief might be a better word. The cam/heads/intake all need to make power in the same region of the RPM band to make a car FUN...I would suggest you pick you heads first..then the intake to match it best, lastly the cam. Remember this is a street car, 4500rpm is definately not where your going to want to enjoy the car on a regular basis, more like 2500. You want to able to enjoy decent mid and low end on the street...that's the fun.

check out the TFS kit from summit...nice complete kit IMO.

Ok sorry I am clueless

Second that. TFS kit. Might want to opt for the track heat because it comes with better valve springs.

aluminum heads are not just a bolt on, you gotta get a pushrod length checker and checking springs and buy different pushrods if needed.

Ok sorry I am clueless

I'm sure you have clues

+557,597,365,159 for the TFS kit, Street Heat would be my choice.

No, your right it does pull hard after 4500 with a BLOWER. Put in a nice comp xe274hr or find on old wolverine 1087. Both are a much better choice than the b cam.

 

[Strype]

TTT

I'm gonna check out the tfs kit


Also- I've found a reputable place to install an H/C/I setup for about $700... for that- they can deal with it

ofcourse there is much better, I just commented on what he was using. I took the B303 deep into the 10's on a 306 all motor 15 years ago, it works when you know what your doing.

the stock maf and tb are restrictive to the stock heads, so they will be killer to power on a h/c/i car, twisted wedge will tell you that 24 pound injectors are a must, also a 190lph fuel pump is a minumum and a good intake is also key, no such thing as a bolt in anything once you get past underdrive pullies and cai, i have not heard much good about the b cam, i like my e just fine, and if you are afraid to spin you stang to 4500 you should by a yugo, also 700 seems like a good deal to do the install

I have the TFS Track Heat kit and I love it best kit you can really buy comes with gaskets and most of everything else you need to do the top end correctly. I say a TFS Street or Heat Kit

 

[88Stang331]

I have the TFS T/W heads, RPM II, and soon to be TFS 1 cam, but I love the heads, just can't wait for the cam.

Do I need lifters? Headers? 24lb Injectors? Fuel Pump? with that set up


If so this is getting too expensive
