Default What is needed to install b303 cam

Hey i have read posts on this topic but i am really just looking for a straight forward answer. I am going to install a b303 cam into my basically stock 90. I have the explorer upper and lower and soon some gt-40 heads. What all needs changed to install the b cam? I am sure lifters will be fine but do i need springs?
Thanks

You need to get YOUR head checked... because the B cam is a gigantic piece of crap.

Get the TFS1 minimum.

sorry to hear you've choose the b-cam.........anyway, cam swap = spring swap, you need the springs and retainers for the cam swap, IIRC the a-50 springs and b-50 retainers

Good time to change the timing chain also depending on the mileage. Don't forget to budget for all the gaskets and fluids.

a nice coat of rustoleum black paint makes it look great as either a doorstop or a piece to go on your toolbox and...

oh wait, youre being serious...

sigh...

springs, timing chain, and measure PTV, and check pushrod length as well just to be safe...

Changed paths today got some gt40-p heads. I got a stock short block and an gt-40 upper and lower intake. What cam would be good for my setup?
