Stock heads and F cam??

[Legendary]

A buddy of mine has a cobar intake and an f cam that he was gonna put on once he got some heads. Well he collapsed a lifter the other day and We were wondering if we can go ahead and put the cam and intake on right now with out any problems with the stock heads. He would upgrade the heads later but he just doesn't have the money now. Would we encounter problems? I'm thinking the valve springs should be upgraded to handle the extra lift. Would anything else become a problem?

Edit: Yeah we would upgrade to roller rockers (1.6), and timing chain while we're at it.

My friend had his motor rebuilt with stock heads and he put a F cam in his. Last summer he added a Cobra intake, BBK headers, and is getting a 70mm TB soon. You will not have a problem with the stock heads b/c my friend is running the same combo.It has an awesome sound at idle with the flows.

It will work and sound great. It will absolutly not make one difference in HP though. Those E7s are pigs and do not flow worth a crap unless you P&P them, which is too much money to make worth while. When you put better heads on is when you'll notice a difference. I did the same thing 2 years ago.

Cool. No mods to the pistons needed or anything like that?
