Okay guys, i just got a new engine!

Its a 1993 5.0 out of a F-150... It has 110,000 miles on it.

Is this a roller motor? If not then whats a good cam for it?

 

[5.0Flareside]

its a roller cam ready motor but is not a roller cam. and how much you pick it up for?

 

[flareside_thunder]

Negative...should absolutely be a roller cam truck.

See that's just mean.... and funny at the same time.

That should be a roller motor but it will have the base cam in it. The '94+ truck/explorer cam is a step up, then the 5.0HO cam, and then there are several aftermarket cams like the Comp XE264HR that I have... all of which work with SD efi.

Comp XE264HR

Whats a better cam... The Comp XE264HR or the Comp 35-351-8?

 

[flareside_thunder]

Don't make him pick......he's recommended both to people.

 

[conanski]

First you got to describe what kind of powerband you want. The XE264 for example makes the 5.0 noticably softer then stock at low rpms but it hauls from 2000rpm all the way to 5000+rpm. The XE270 has more duration and will push the powerband further up the tach, so it's better suited to a motor with improved heads and a high stall converter or a blower for example.

Do you think my truck will be this fast with a cam, headers, and heads?

cody seriously???????

 

[RedLariat85]

cody seriously???????

Uh, yeah...why?

I'm just trying to get an idea on how fast it may be...

 

[conanski]

I'll try to get something similar of my truck for comparison sake, but overall I'd have to say mine is similar to that right now and it's an extended cab 4x4 which is close to 5000lbs.

 

[5.0Flareside]

it wont be that fast. that truck has had a lot of work done to it. itll be way closer to that than in current stock configuration but it wont make it that much faster.
