E303 cam combo question
hey guys,
a friend just gave me a E303 cam yesterday and i was wondering what would be a good combo to compliment this cam? i've always used B303's in the past so i'm not too familiar with the E cam. right now my car is a 1992, 5 speed, and bone stock. i was planning on:
1. 3.73 gears
2. off road exhaust (not sure who yet)
3. CAI
4. heads (????)
5. intake (????)
i'm not sure what would be a good head and intake setup to go with the E cam. i'm not looking to get too crazy, just a decent budget build-up that will still make a good driver (as car will not be a race machine or anything). also, what hp levels will i be able to expect with the setup you guys suggest? i'm shooting for maybe 250-270 rwhp but i'm not sure if that's too lofty a goal or not.
thanks!

RE: E303 cam combo question
pretty much the same as a cobra, so yeah... the E-cam has been combined with the GT-40 and cobra stuff for a long time, it's a good solid (but mild) set-up, you'll get what you're looking for out of it.

RE: E303 cam combo question
Ford makes a top end kit for around $2,100 that has everything you are essentially looking for. It comes with gt-40 aluminum heads, the cobra polished intake, e cam, all gaskets and ARP hardware, timing chain cover, oil pan gasket kit, and a fwe other littls things here and there... IT should make near 300 hp with everything, and there's always room for porting.

Sounds like the boat I was in, once upon a time and 430 rwhp later...
