[germansheperd]

going out on a limb to see if anyone has a set they would like to sell?

 

[Lvnmarks]

I might.

 

[germansheperd]

nice let me know

 

[chris2523]

are you on facebook? i see a few sets a month there.

 

[germansheperd]

No never did the FB thing.

 

[Ford nut]

I hate to say it but all the mustang crap is in the FB groups now, pretty much forcing the issue if your looking hard, I have see a few for sale lately.

It's a lot of work for little gain

 

[driller]

I would think if you want to do cams, you'd want to do the heads and intake as well for maximum benefit.

What he said

 

[chris2523]

cobra cams is probably a drop in +10 or so.
degreed, +20 or so, depending on how bad the factory degreeing is, mine was quite bad.
the gains are more in a c head motor probably.
its not usually worth it unless you have the motor out already.
mine was already out and receiving c heads, so it was no extra labor for me.

 

[germansheperd]

I get it. I shouldn't even touch this car but thinking about taking it up a notch. In the end I still want it to be a highway cruiser that idles, is quiet, and drives like a stock car gets 25+ mpg that I can drive almost anytime.

Man your right and I've done that with one car I just don't want to make another project, turn it into another garage queen.

the factory degreeing can really be that far off?
What intake are you going to run on the C heads? 99/01 Cobra?

 

[Lvnmarks]

Cobra/Mach 1/Marauder/FR500/Sheet Metal

 

[KStromberg]

I'm going to put a cobra emblem on my sprockets. Close enough.

factory is usually about 119/110.
i moved mine to 112/114.
i have a mach 1 intake.

 

[psychostang]

If you keep the B heads, try to get an actual 96 intake cam set. The second lobe had different specs than the primary. 97/98 had the same specs on both lobes.

 

[chris2523]

i am about 99% certain that was proved false.
or it is so slight, it could not be measured, so basically the same thing.
