It should definitely fit in a stock engine, but if you're putting it in with stock heads, I have a feeling you're going to be quite disappointed that you didn't pick up very much power.

Changing the cam if an awful lot of work to get sound.
I wouldn't do it.
Besides if your valve springs are old, the cam will help wear them down in no time.

Way back i made the mistake of putting a cam in my stock engine, it was senseless.

if your car is stock wait till you get some heads and a intake.like the others have said its alot of work and you will most likely lose power.

You WILL need springs!! IF you can change them out also.. you will have what you want! Just there will be more power with a set of heads or better intake is fitted!! cool??
