I bought this over from the classic Mustang forum.

I'm putting a 87 5.0 motor in my 66 fastback. It has a C4 trans with a 2.8 rear. This what I thought I would do to the motor. Tri-y headers, probably the preformer intake or the air gap intake, 600 carb. What cam would you use? Ford racing preformance has 2 cams that I was looking at. The "B" .480 lift 5100 rpm or the "E" .498 lift 5500 rpm. Thanks for the input.

I would to like to get more power out of stock motor and let keep the driveability of a street car. I'm not interested in racing on the drag strip. I just want to make sure as a complete package that this combo will work. Hope that helps. Thanks

B cam get's my vote. And what the heck is a 2.8 rear?[&:]

According to Ford Racing the E cam has less Duration so it would idle better than the B and is closer to Stock..just my .02

2.8 That's what was on the tag of the rear. I would like to get more HP than the stock 225 @ 4400. I know fuel injection would be the hot setup, but I don't want to put that in this car. Keep it old school looking.

I think you are misreading it for 8.8 maybe? Because as for a rear, 2.8 means nothing.... that I know of anyway. Also, yes a B cam will not have as smooth of an idle as an e cam will because of the duration. B cams sound BEAST though!

+1. Exactly.

2.8:1 gear ratio.... its possible but more than likely supposed to be a 8.8" Ford rear end...

We are talking about a 66, not a 96.
No doubt a 2.80 open, 8"
