[QUOTE="88stang88, post: 1490876, member: 17115"] Feel free to ask away. It took me a while to rebuild mine with the various events that happen around my house with four kids that all play sports. I kept the stock cams for two reasons. 1- These engines are not cheap to rebuild even when you are trying to be cheap. 2- I was at the point where I spent enough on everything else I just wanted to get it running again because it had been over a year at the point I started to reassemble everything. Hindsight is I wish I would have gotten a new set of cams for my car. I went with a high compression setup and really feel like I could have optimized it with some slightly aggressive cams. I really wanted to go with the Kenne Bell 2.1 whenever I first started this build. I have always been a huge fan of the whine and instant power. The more time that passes though I feel like I may end up with a ProCharger or Vortech setup myself. I don't really have ambitions of high boost and until I replace my K-Member I won't be fooling around with the headers again for some time. Those made installing the engine a pain. Granted I installed the headers and transmission before dropping everything back in. Tight fit to say the least. [/QUOTE]
