new cam
 
was planning on 1.7 RR but decided to go with a cam instead. What is a good cam for stock motor in 94 GT. Also trying to find a set off cheep castiron heads with larger valves. All opinions and advice are welcome.

RE: new cam
 
If the motor is pretty much stock leave the stock cam in it, your better off doing all the bolt ons first. As for heads look for a set of GT-40 or GT-40P heads

RE: new cam
 
but GT40 heads are alluminum right. I prefer iron heads cause I don't want to risk the chance of overheating and warping the heads. How possible is it to overheat alluminum heads. And what other bolt ons would I do ( give me a good place to start). And wouldn't be cheaper to do cam while top of motor is apart?

no there are gt40 and gt40p heads, they are also called "explorer heads" because they come off a ford explorer.

RE: new cam
 
will GT40 heads work with all factory parts like push rods , headers, valve covers , and intake. Will any porting need to be done to the intake ?

gt40s are iron heads. gt40y, gt40z and etc are aluminum

your spark plugs will need to change if you use the gt40s

get a set of p heads...do a 5 angle valve job,and light porting with some 1.7 rocker and it should wake up
