The engine was originally from an '87 Mark VII.Forged flat tops.The engine has been great.I'm having a little low end power issue,but,I think it's the E303 cam and other mods including a shift kit in the tranny,but a stock converter.Once the 5 speed is in,the manners of the car will probably change a little.

Yea that makes more sense.
However the stock HO pistons look like flat tops but have very small eyebrows in them,i thought the same when i took the heads off the HO.
The stock 1600 stall convertor will give you a low end loss for sure,i think the e-cam states 2400+ stall to work correctly.
The 5-speed will make all the difference.

The 2400 stall is a big improvement,with E-303.I had 2000 +2400-2600 non lock before the t-5 swap.Now with my 3.73's 1st + 2nd is almost worthless to me.Either just burn the tires or the rpm limiter smacks me.But I guess thats a good thing.

its funny that everyone says the E cam has no bottom end....  mine effs off pretty good from a stop....  Chris I will have to take you for a rip at the car show one of these nights and show you...  or maybe make a video of me hammering it from a stop...  yeah you can feel it come into its power band as it revs, but there is still lots of bottom end to it...  in mine anyways, even with the stock tranny and gears...

I can get the car to bark the tires in second and third,but it's still shifts too fast at lower rpms.I can't wait to sell the AOD and get the 5 speed in.It should be in on the 2nd.I'll have pics of it.
