Hey guys, I apologize if it came off as if I were dead set on changing it - I should really clarify whats going on. I have a mechanic and a 2nd engine - however, I am having the mechanic go through the engine first to find out if he can see what the problem is. Currently he thinks it could be the computer. Hes having it checked in the morning. I basically have the 2nd engine as an alternative if he cannot figure this out. He seems to know his stuff. If he gets the 87 running, hes keeping the 86 in payment, if he swaps 'em, hes keeping the 87. I did stress to him to try and keep the 87 in after hearing everyone's opinions.
The cam is not different.The '86 cam was slightly more aggressive than the '87 up 5.0 H.O,and you can swap an '86 engine into the car with no worries.Even a Mass Air car.I've done it.
The cam is not different.
The H.O. roller cam is the same from '85 through very late '88.
Is true.Not true. Pretty much any Mustang History site worth it's salt will tell ya different.
I've also seen (an attempted to find it before posting without luck), cam comparison charts for the Fox motors and through the 95. Though there were MANY Fox bodies that carried the same cams, that cannot be said for 85 all the way through late 88. If I come across a good reference, I'll come back by this thread and post. I would hazard a guess though, that a google search for model year differences would yield a result.
