I have a complete HO Tbird built 08/90 that I was planning to keep original and rebuild the engine... BAD KNOCK in the engine. Anyway I think it will become a donor for my 87. Just can't let go of the 87, it has the sequential tail light kit that I don't think is available anymore.
V8Demon, By machining the block, you mean drilling and tapping for the spider hold down right? I do have an HO cam and a set of dog bones with the computer (A3M) out of a 92 Mustang. I just cant find the dog bones and planned to install the spider out of my Tbird 5.0.
Has anyone used a 351 cam in a 302? I looked at the journal specs in my Haynes manual;
302 Number 1 journal diameter is listed as 2.0805 to 2.815 inches (journals 2 - 5 are similar) 351 Number 1 journal diameter is listed as 2.0815 inches (journals 2 - 5 are listed the same way with only the high limit listed.
I have a 1980 reconditioned short block with H654P pistons. The block is bored .040 over. I plan to drill and tap for the roller lifter hold down. I have a complete H.O. upper and a set of E7 heads I had built for the H.O. cam.
The 351 cam is out of the 1995 Truck 5.8 I rebuilt for my F-150. Machine shop checked it and said it is good.
The real question is... what is the difference between the OE 5.0 H.O. Cam and the OE 5.8 Cam? And are they interchangeable?
