Been collecting parts since dec 4th 2011. Have Ported heads, comp 270 cams, trickflow tb and plenum, trickflow adjustable crank gears, longtubes, bbk h-pipe, 3500 stall, modified intake valves, comp springs and retainers, frpp head changing kit, 4:10 gears w/ trac-loc, rear end kit. frpp intake manifold. So much stuff i know im forgetting something. Should be starting my build next month. Just need to get a fuel rail, egr tube, throttle body cable and bracket, cruise servo, and get my heads from the machine shop then I can start my build. Oh yeah a tune of course. This is going on a 94 crown victoria. So far only about $2700 and a couple months in. I don't think thats too bad.

Stage two cams are really awesome. Just be prepared to do new springs and retainers. I think you might have to notch the pistons too unless you retard the timing. Not 100% on that though.

If you run them at 111 icl you dont have to with modified intake valves. I plan on running them at 109 so im going to notch my pistons. These cams require springs, retainers, full exhaust, and stall (if automatic).

If your going stage 2 comp cams I would recommend Comp Cams Beehive springs.


I didn't go with a P.I. swap personally, I went with an svo swap. It took a couple of years to get all the parts I wanted.
