B cam with the 1.7's. It will make it close to an X cam from what I was told by 93pony.

if you remeber my vert or ever heard or saw it run that was cobra block, gt 40 heads with 1.7 rockers and a e cam ran great would have been way faster in lighter car hope that helps it was a good strong motor

cheap...and cost effective

B cam with 1.7's will be a 224*/.512 on both sides.

get it degreed.....and pull more out of it...???

upgraded springs for a B cam??? i dont think so... they are just trying to get more money off you...

more money smuney!what ford want more money for? professonaly stock vavle springs are made for stock cams duh.really you should get the right springs but people get lucky alot but a b cam with 1.7s is gettin close but should be fine.

I'm in the 707 and can install the cam for you...you gotta provide the garage though...unless you're military, then we can do it at the hobby shop on Travis

I have an E cam in my Jeep and i like how it runs. i have an E Cam laying on the floor of my room for my 95 but i want to do springs with it so i don't have valve float. i haven't installed it because i don't want to lose the 450 dollars worth of AC fluid and i don't look forward to changing the springs lol
