Which Cam? 95 Cobra

[chasenichols]

I've got 95 cobra that i am planning on getting the lower intake and heads ported on. Since i'm going to be pulling the motor i'm think this is the time to do some cam work if i ever want to.

Question is...What cam should i go with?

I'm looking for a better horsepower curve, not necessarily more peak power (though that be nice )

Any suggestions out there? Anyone running something similar? Is it even worth swapping cams? And what other parts need to be replaced if i do a cam swap? Already planned on doing new springs...

If you are running stock unmodified heads, there is no point in changing the cam. You are more likely to lose power.

Im with kurt on this one but you could always just add some 1.6 rockers.

I thought the Cobra already heady 1.6 roller rockers

Are you rebuilding the motor too? Is that why you're pulling it?

oops dident even realize we were talking bout a cobra. well you could go with a comp cam HO replacement cam. They are on LMR but you better be geting some good port work to see a diffrence.

He said he's getting the lower intake and heads ported. And cobra motors should come with 1.7 crane ped mount rollers I thought?

 

[revhead347]

Cobras come with a 1.6 pedastal roller rockers.

The 94-95 Cobra comes with Crane energizer 1.7 cast aluminum rockers from Ford.

And the good factory replacement off the shelf camshaft for the cobra with 1.7 rockers are Crower 15511 and Crane 2031 camshaft.

And both are over $350

Good luck
