I need help deciding what cam to run I got a 93 cobra upper lower gt40 heads (going to get them ported), ford racing lifters, 1.7 RR's, BBK LT's, SLP exhaust,  Could I run a F cam?. Or what would I have to do to run that cam?. Oh and it's 302. 
Thanks Cali Fords would much  appreciate the help.

Best results will be from a custom cam. You can always run a tfs1 or e cam, I had a b cam retarded 4* with 1.7's in my last hci car. It ripped

So a F cam wouldn't work?

It may work but you will need to check piston to valve clearance.

Okay thanks guys, but if the piston to value clearance is fine it is a good cam too run with this set up?.

As long as coil bind isn't an issue, then yes it would be a good cam for that combo.
