xe274hr gt-40 cast iron heads
well finally decided to put a cam in my car im still running that 93 cobra manifold on there....i know i have to upgrade springs im in the process of taking the motor out im ganna go .30 over do i need to notch the pistons for this cam. thanx for your help guys

most likely not but the most important thing is to check for ptv and properly set valvetrain up by measuring for the proper length push rod if you are going to use roller rockers..most likely if the block and heads have not been decked and you are using pedastal mount rockers then stock length will often be sufficient

kinda wanna do this on a budget i know lol you get wat you pay for im still using my stock rockers is that ok or do i need to buy i set also im ganna have some one do the block for me and the heads and all so ill let them put the cam and check for clearances

I like the XE274HR. Nice street cam. Has a nice power range for street use
I doubt you will have any issues with Piston/Valve clearance but it's easy to check and something you want to know before you fire that bad boy up.

JE/SRP are good pistons. While forged pistons are a little more loose due to the need for expansion I doubt you hear them like you did in the older vehicles. Piston technology has come a long way. Look at it like this. when was the last time you heard a 87-92 Mustang with a cold start up knock

thats true bro very true thats was i was thinking putting in some srp or je pistons fresh up the bottom end. re build the heads with the proper springs i need for the head. can i keep my stock rockers or do i need to get some ...

Some of these other guys who run them may be able to tell you. I'm not 100% sure. I'd check the slot in a mock up
