Default Small Cam

I have a 94 GT 5.0 that is pretty much stock. The only performance parts that I have are king cobra H/D clutch, MAC 2.5 cat back exhaust, so it pretty much stock. I was wanting to put a cam in it and if so what kinda cam is common and do I have to do any other mods so I can put a small cam in it?

you can get away with a ford racing B-303 cam using stock springs but even there its recommended you upgrade the springs to something a tad stiffer. of course, if your going to upgrade the springs you might as well go for a E-303 or something from another company with similar specs.... anything bigger is just overkill for street driving unless you have a badass motor

installing a cam without heads and an intake is a BIG waste of your money... especially considering you need to take the intake and heads off to properly swap the cam
