Hey guys i need to find out what cam i need for my setup and what Roller rockers.... 1.6 or 1.7? Would the FRPP "E" Cam work? I need a cam i can just buy and not have custom made.

Also what Oil pan do you rec.? or should i just leave the stock?

Also i'm in the middle of doing my engine and what else do you think i need to replace while doing this? I got the replacement push rods and timing chain, anything else?

My setup
AFR 165's - Non emissions - 58cc chambers
GT-40 Intake
FRPP 24 lb injects
BBK 75mm Throttle body
80mm MAF Meter
Edelbrock Water pump
Replacement pushrods
Replacement Timing chain
Stock 302 bottom end(Will be a 306)
BBK shorty unequal cermaic 1 5/8 headers
BBK offroad x pipe
Magnaflow Cat-back system
A/C delete
SMOG delete
Fluidyne Radiator
Black Magic Xtreme electric fan
6G Alt. Upgrade
AFM CAI system
BBK 255lph Fuel pump

Those are all the parts i have or are being shipped!

you will need thermactor plugs for your heads.
How did you get pushrods already if you dont know the correct size you need yet

I'm sure he got stock replacement pushrods. I use 6.250", and stock is 6.272" if I recall. I have a custom cam, .560 lift so the pushrod was bound to be a bit short.

If you use the E cam, I'm sure the stock pushrods will be fine. Keep the 1.6RR's, don't get 1.7's unless your keeping stock cam in my opinion.

Reuse your stock oil pan and get a new oil pump of course, they run around $20.

Make sure you cover all your gaskets:

Oil pan gasket
Timing Cover gasket
Water pump gasket
Headgasket
Intake gasket
Thermostat gasket
Etc....

Good Luck!
