I never pre-stretched my head bolts when I did my head gaskets. Just torqued em down. Found some Cobra cams for $150 so its only a matter of time...
Carquest sells a cloyes 4v timing kit with everything for 625.... yeah no thanks. Or I buy Ford parts for $400 lol 290 - ARP head studs 400 -...
Thats what I meant when I said degree them lol Ill have to look for some when I find some free time. Busy schedule these next couple of days....
Ill have to look into that. Adjustable cam sprockets are for degreeing them? Never looked too far into the difference in the actual parts....
That was for a Ford timing kit. Havent looked at any others. Whatd you end up going with for your 2v?
Timing chain and guide kit for 4v... $439.99 :banghead: Looks like ill be going with the cheaper cobra cams for sure now.
Thinking about just keeping stock intake too... With a 5.0 intake im looking at new throttle body, new fuel rails and theyd need to be fabbed up...
Need to decide on cams asap. Rotating assembly should be finished soon and I need to order cams, timing components, gasket set, and head studs.....
Well after reading that long thread about the 4v 5.4 intake options.. im still undecided lol Looks to me like the boss 302 intake is for high rpm...
Looks good except for those dc2s.. :puke:
1,000 miles in 3 months is pretty damn good.
I was wondering if this thing was done yet... whens the deadline? Im ready to see this thing with an engine in it!!
I rolled 150k last week
Ill check it out tomorrow. Read a few pages but I gotta get to work it looks like some good info for sure.
Are you reusing all your pulleys, timing chains, guides, tensioners, etc. Im putting new everything on my engine so I was curious if you did...
Damn dude. That looks great. I think im going to paint everything on mine black with silver/chrome accents. I dropped mine off at the machine shop...
My money is on #8 plug :jester:
Lightning blower wont work for my engine lol I have a dual overhead cam not single overhead cam. Mines better :jester:
Yup. 500 for intake and 500 for adapters then all the pieces to make it work together intake wise. Then throw another $1500 at cams and damn. Lot...
Then im guessing my only issue would be to frankenstein the vaccuum lines to it and get my throttle cables/cruise control attached to the throttle...
