Have some Q,s about F303 cam in 5.0
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: scottyz
Hello, just joined the forum and had a few Q"s about a cam swap. My friend just purchased an F303 for his stock 95 GT. He will also be adding headers,Xpipe and new exhaust. Valve springs also. The engine has 200000kms on it right now. The engine also has never been opened up before. My questions are:
1. Will there be any piston to valve clearance issues?
2. Will the cam be compatible with the computer?
3. Can this be done without removal of the engine?
4. When we degree the cam in should we advance or retard it? Like 2 or 4 degrees either way to make a little more power down low? In other words, where have you guys found the best results for power? Thanks

1. no i don't think so
2. yes it should be but you may have to do a little tunnig with it
3. yes but its is a bitch and a half you'll have to remove the radiotr and fans and front acessories for more clearence
4 i believe your timing should be the same but don't quote me

F303 will be compatible with computer
You can do it with the engine in the car
Instal it straight up, start with 10* base timing and advance it till it pings
