Oh. Lol I found a e303 with lifters for 150.

Bought a timing chain and head bolts today.

 

[MustangMoser]

sounds like an ok deal but the cams can be had for less without lifters

 

[TheNatster513]

I can only find them for like 180+

 

[TheNatster513]

I don't understand the specs? So if you could check these out that would b great!

duration=how long the valve is open, lift=how far the valve opens, overlap=how long both valves are open at the same time.

for your set up, go either e-cam, steeda #19 or trickflow stage 1. all 3 of those cams are proven, and are very similar. You're not going to gain a lot from a bigger head with gt-40 stuff on your engine.

 

[TheNatster513]

Now what if I can get a custom one fir 160?

 

[MustangMoser]

if you can find a custom cam for 160 thats an awesome price. is it used? as long as you are getting a tune a custom cam for your gt40 set up would be great. You can only go so far with a cam before you're just pissing in the wind because your other parts arent able to put the cam where it needs to be (rpms, air flow, etc)

 

[TheNatster513]

gotcha. the link under "custom" in my cam post is i think a custom cam.. i emailed them.. but no respnse. not used either

 

[TheNatster513]

I sent an email to comp cams and this is what they suggested

[MustangMoser]

it looks ok, if thats the one they recommend i'm sure they know what they're talking about. but an e-cam or trickflow stage 1 is gonna be cheaper and just as good.

 

[TheNatster513]

Well I think I found the same one on summit for 109?

[MustangMoser]

thats a flat tappet cam, you want hydraulic roller

 

[TheNatster513]

Oh.. Lol

I understand your running out of money with this thing, but if thats the case bud. I would set all that stuff to the side and start saving some more. Don't get anxious and throw half assed things into your motor. Or you'll be paying even more in the long run.

 

[rz5.0]

did you email shaunt. your cam is a major decision. the wrong cam can make your motor feel lazy and youl regret it then.

 

[TheNatster513]

I did but I'm afraid I can't pay as much as he is asking. The only thing I hav skipped is the rockers. I did almost new everything. The only thing I'm missing from the parts list given earlier is the cam, head gaskets, valve springs, and the rockers. Everything else I got.

 

[rz5.0]

did you ask him about the regrind cam

 

[TheNatster513]

yes and were working through our flaws... lol

 

[rz5.0]

how much did he quote you on the regrind

 

[TheNatster513]

for adjustable valve train.. like 350

reg stock valve train 150. i think we doin the 150. i dont have the money for the rockers and deff not for the 350
