5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
i have a 351w that i was going to drop in there but it cost a little more$ than just to put in a 302 but the 351w is built and not stock thats what i bought the f cam for.
I just recently got my first mustang and im putting a 302 in it for a while until I can afford to put my 351 in and i need to know what i need to do to install an f cam in stock 302
I have the f- cam with stock bottom end and heads, and i love the power band!!!! If you do that cam i would get some gears mabey some 3.73's or 4.10's. Also get a timing chain and sproket. and if you can afford it do some 1.6 roller rockers, and hardend pushrods!!
Stock springs aren't good past .500. I know of people that have gone past that, but I'd say it's borrowed time.... I got a Crane valve spring kit on Summit for $130 that's good to .550 for my E cam and 1.72's (.535 lift).
i've seen an "f" cam in a stock motor before and it was slow as ****
go w/ an " e" cam like stated above and save your self the trouble
and upgrade the valve springs
