had a kid, i had the 95 all apart and was going ***** to the walls on it, just ran out of time and money for it so it had to go

bought a bike and was Mustang-less for about 2 1/2 months, couldnt stand it, bike went, grabbed the 96 and here we are...

the 96 was drivable when i got it and made me 100X happier instantly lol

itll only make 360-380rwhp but itll rev out to 8000 all day long

Its still a good amount of HP but its SOOOO expensive to build the damn thing lol. $1200 just for can set of cams is the biggest thing that sucks I think lol. BUT that is all part of the game.

Thanks, for all the explanations on the e303 cam but my question is will I have enough clearance for the valves with the domed pistons? Is there any way to know before I buy a cam and heads or do I have to just mock it and find out?

I'm just trying to avoid the problem before it happens instead of trying to fix it afterwards.

Thanks,

There is no easy way to know without putting the cam in. There ARE ways, but that are very difficult, exacting, and complicated.

$599 but i have a 2V

and the block will hold up forever, 6 bolt mains stock

i love the top end rush these motors have, but i miss the down low torque...

i cant wait to do the 331 for the FFR its gonna be the best of both worl...
