Parts 2 change with cam install????

[94pony]

I have my heads and intake off so I figured I would go ahead and put in this B-Cam I have. I have stock heads and cobra intake. *Yes I know I should do heads to, BUT BROKE*. What other parts are required to replace with a new cam?

Liters?
Retainers?

Thanks

Back in the day when I did that, I upgraded the springs (Crane energizer I think) and some roller rockers.

Check these things for a trouble free cam installation

Do you have enough p to v clearance?
Are your OEM v springs too weak to deal with the increased lift?
Are you gonna need different pr's or shims?

Don't ... Do Not ... Just blow this stuff off

Just a heads up for ya

It's a B cam, all your stock stuff will be fine. A new set of lifters would be a good idea. You can reuse everything else.

maybe a new timing chain?

I guess while you're at it, flush out and clean radiator and coolant?

Thanks for the info Grady,

One question since its a b-cam going into a mostly stock engine do you think my stock 100k valve springs will be strong enough?

If I install new lifters is it recommended I replace the pushrods as well?

Not with stock rockers you don't need to change the pushrods. Pushrods really don't wear much. 100K miles on the springs, you might want to change those out too. Stock replacement are fine, but if you can find a stronger set for about the same price, you might as well.
