Installing B303 & 1.7's

8994 · February 16th, 2009, 05:52 PM

Anything to consider when installing?

White Thunder · February 16th, 2009, 06:02 PM

consider getting a better cam....

I would consider lifters and pushrods, depending on how many miles are on you're old ones. Possibly a fuel pressure regulator w/gauge. Othere than that it's a pretty mild cam, infact thats what I was running until a little while ago, good healthy idle, and decent rpm range. Enjoy.

maybe a timing chain would be a good idea while your at it.Lifters might be a good idea
but pushrods arent really necessary unless they are bent or worn but if your in there it wouldnt be a bad idea to do.

the best idea would be to ditch the b303 cam and get something good. what else is done to the car?

grnstang · February 16th, 2009, 07:04 PM

nevermind..i just read your sig. The b303 is going to yield very minimal gains...I would just do it right the first time and get a good anderson or comp cam or something

i think the cam should be one of the last mods..to tie everything together

lol wrong person. I would not even waste my time with a b cam. I would just go with an anderson cam or even another off the shelf from some other cam companies.. I would just by an n-21 from anderson though.

You should learn now that "B" cam is a bad word around here, the same people and the same answers. Depending on your millage valve springs and timming chain.

e or f cam would be a wiser choice on the alphabet cams..

I personally like trickflow grinds, but different stroke for different folks.

I would consider new timing chain, lifters, and cam bearings if yours show lots of wear, usually they are ok.

Also check the pushrods for straightness by rolling them alongside a straight edge with a venier caliper

I already have the B cam but I will consider others... I'm just concerned about valve 2 piston clearance since I have 1.7's..

I have done that same combo 4 or 5 times in years past just make sure your rockers are good quality,I have only done this with Ford and Crane rockers. As far as the cam bearings go, not a consern
