AND not pay (check then cancel)

even though (when u get it back) you'll probably feel relieved, this is/was rediculous and shouldn't be left uncontested!

What is him getting the cam specs gonna do (besides nothing) As long as its running, set the timing to about 14*, fuel pressure to 39psi and go drive it! Let it warm up and take the rpms up and let the car coast down in gear. Break it in like in that link i sent you months ago. Then pull the upper intake and valve covers and re-torque the heads and lower intake and look for leaks! Do NOT let him do that for you or it'll be another month

Could you re-post that link? I'll be rebuilding my 5.0 soon, and I'd really appreciate having a good break-in procedure. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I bet $50 that when he gets the car it would have the BLOCK but be missing some of the rotating assembly that came with the block

It's not running right because it's got an ignorant camshaft in it.

Big cam + T4M0 = Not running right.

Take it out and drive it, let it stall at every stop you come to; that's the only way the processor is going to learn.
