Edelbrock Performer 5.0
24# injectors that i just remembered needed new O rings and a flow test

All new gaskets and such
Trick Flow billet Timing set
Black crinkle coat finned Mustang logo valve covers, short (which i will cut the baffles in to make them work with the 1.7's)

and then the solid lifter and pushrod length checker

as soon as that **** gets here, the motors gonna come apart

Default RE: oh, mah gawd

its has a similar grind to an E cam, but with 1.7 rockers, lemme see if i can find the grind specs

Lift:

Intake @ Cam = 302
Intake @ Valve= 513

Exhaust at cam= 311
Exhaust at cam= 529

Ratio=1.7


Cam Timing at .004
Intake: opens at 28* BTDC closes at 68* ABDC Duration=276

Exhaust: opens at 75*BBDC closes at 27* ATDC Duration=282



Cam Timing at .050
Intake opens at 00* BTDC closes at 34* ABDC Duration 214
Exhaust opens at 47* BBDC closes at (7) BTDC Duration 220


Power range 1400-5400 almost the same as intake, Idle-5500

Default RE: oh, mah gawd

im looking at some C/L and ebay finds, but i am le poor seeing as i just drained my account


im still needing some stuff, but not NEARLY as important

I.E i want to get an aluminum radiator and electric fan, for my overheating/coolant leak problem, and my loud as ****ing all hell fan problem

That Ignition ****, and one of the Tach+2 gauge pod that goes on the side of the gauge cluster

just to name a few


oh yeah, and the cobra bumper and LX catback, which is fairly close to the top of my list.

sounds like a good setup.. just a FYI im using stock ignition on my motor and it runs great.. As for the cooling thing, I just put in a fluidyne radiator and my car runs a hell of a lot cooler than it did with the stock radiator
