question about engine build

99v6stang · January 14th, 2008, 10:16 PM

Okey so how would the combintation of
Rpm-mustangs Ported big valve heads
258cfm @ .550" lift intake
153cfm @ .550" lift exhaust
Morana racing 224/224 cam
99+ windstar upper and lower intake
work out my my 4.2? Would this be an alright combo? I am also going to port and polish, and half shaft the throttle body, and then go straight to the dyno. I will try to fit the windstar under the stock hood, if i cant, then i guess its a good thing i have a cobra hood on the way.

don't think the 99 and up windstar will fit under the stock hood (i know u can make the 96-98 fit) but on the 99 and up i think u have ishues with the runers themselves not clearing. also the 01 and up have a small redising that make them even better then the 99 and 00
also 224/224 sounds like a turbo cam, r u na s/c or t/c

Yea i have heard of people moving the iac and being able to fit the intake under the stock hood, but whatever i have a new hood coming i was just going to try to let other people know if it could be done.

And im n/a, but the cam is the one thing on the list that i already have and i really dont want to waste it and buy a new cam, i would think with such good flowing heads and intakes the cam should work out nicely, and i dont want to be exactly the same as everyone else

well u most likely will need to relocat it even to get it to fit under the aftermarkit hood unless it is like a 5in cowel hood

also just my opption but u will not get very good benifits from that cam staying na(i could be wrong but probaly not), not saying u have to be like evry one elss, but if it is unused id try to sell it to some one wit ha turbo and get somthing a little more seated to ur aplacation.

That cam is just way too big. The heads would wold work...

Are you gonna stay out of the car for now?

99v6stang · January 14th, 2008, 10:45 PM

The cam has been used
What would result from using this cam instead of one smaller? What makes you say it is too big?

I asked a higher source...

Well i just cant seem to understand why Tom Morana of Morana racing would reccomend me this cam then. Maybe he gave me the wrong specs for it or something. I realize that too big of a cam looses alot of throttle response and only makes its power higher up in the power band, which i guess i may have noticed, but i figured that by getting such good flowing heads and intakes they would compensate for it and make it even better than a smaller cam

well they will help but the problom still comes from the fact that the exhaust is so big that u lose a lot of back preshure, and there for low end TQ.
however the big exhaust is nice for turbos for the ovies reason that they run off of it.

99v6stang · January 14th, 2008, 11:17 PM

dammit, well low end power is what i want, i guess i will have to put the cam up for sale in the classifieds

99v6stang · January 14th, 2008, 11:18 PM

what cam would you reccomend for that setup?

whitemustang02 · January 14th, 2008, 11:26 PM

well im not positive on the exact spects but i am loking at a 218/224 or if u wan get realy agresive u gould go up to a 224/230
hear is a good link for give u some geanral ideas on cam durations and there apilacation for out cars.
