My friend has an e-cam laying around and is wanting to throw it in my bone stock 5.0. I'd like to to know about how much I would gain and if its worth the trouble in a high mileage stock engine with 0 other boltons. He says the stock valvesprings should be ok so i'll take his word on that.
Thanks

I wouldn't do it, sell the cam and use that money to buy other bolt ons, like 1.7 RR's or an electric fan.

Stock springs wouldn't be ok especially not high milage ones.
They are barely sufficient with a stock cam and 1.7 rr's.
a cam on a stock motor is worthless.
