If you are having a shop do the motor they will figure the push rod length and after the cam is ground you should have a recomended valve spring. You can go 1.7 RR as long as you have the ptvc (piston to valve clearance) needed.
As far as the lifters it depends on how many miles are on them, I have reused roller lifters many times and had no trouble.

 

. You can go 1.7 RR as long as you have the ptvc (piston to valve clearance) needed.
.

This is false.

 

well the 1.7 rocker ratio will be takin into consideration when building the cam i think, therefore i can figure ptvc at the same time. idk exactly how many miles are on the lifters def 30-40k.

 

Since you are going to get a custom cam why don't you get 1.6 rockers ? The only reason to go with 1.7s is if you want a little more lift and don't want to dig into your motor or you are running speed density .

 

yeah thats what i was thinkin, thats why i asked the question to see what you guys thought. but yeah i know what you mean and i can get 1.6 not a big deal. and im running MAF so no complications there

 

so mustank. whats the differences? any advantages?

 

Then please tell why he can't run 1.7's with the combo he listed

 

i dont think hes saying i can or cant, hes just stating what you said was false.. why is what i would like to know. what is your opinion mustank. altho what M L said isnt realy false... dont understand mustank.. or are you just having a bad day? im not looking for a bunch of arguing so really if you dont have any advice... just dont post please. stating why those statments are false might be advice. but just stating that its false with no reason is a waste of my time.

 

No one said anything about peak lift until post #11...

and ics

 

what do you want a pic of. my parts.. lol

 

what about my power/ET estimate. you think im close?

 

i think mustank is getting way to far ahead. im getting a cam. as for the specs i have no idea yet because im not ready to buy one yet. im just wondering what the benefit between the both would be? obviously i need to figure out which RR im going to run before i go lookin at cams...

 

[QUOTE If run run a cam with 1.6's and it clears and switch to 1.7's it will clear. Duration is not changed. What does lsa have to do with anything...... Its cam events that are important.....



This is false

 

the 1.7 rockers will give you a little more lift, and its a cheap mod to add a little more power. ptv clearance shouldnt be much of a problem, even with a fairly radical cam. 1.7 rockers are a common mod on the Tempo 2.3 engine, and there are guys running race cams, with 1.7 rockers and headls milled .090" without any ptv clearance issues. common gain with the 1.7 rockers on a stock Ford Tempo 2.3 is about 7-15hp.

 

You have a non interference engine.

 

this is true.

 

hey how do i post pics? tried pasting the url but it just comes up with a link. how do i do this?

Nice ride!

Stock pushrods won't work with Twisted Wedges, and the springs for .600 doesn't mean that they are good for all cams under that. If you'll get a custom cam you'll also get the correct spring info. Talk to the cam grinder about rockers. 205 CNC heads have 65cc chamber, i'd also have them milled to get more compression.

 

yes but then im dealing with PTVC. how did you post the pics. lol

 

I'm loving that white Saleen!

 

just a clone. and it wont be like that any longer. painting it white again, but no saleen stuff is going back on it. doing white with a sunset perl, aughta look sharp when im done. what do you guys think im ganna be looking at power wise?

 

been working on the body past week. pretty torn apart but cant wait to get her painted and back together!!

 

just got the two bumpers and the quarter panels and door jams to do.

 

Are those old pickle buckets in the back of your garage? The green ones?

 

haha yeah thats the workshop. we use them for bird seed.

 

:lmao

I have one with oil in it, someone left it in my garage before I moved in. I think its funny that i was right haha

 

Why does your Saleen have 4 lug wheels?

 

its a clone. well no longer is it haha. but it was.

 

ask he who grinds your cam

 

Johnny "He who walks behind the rows" Simonevski.

 

+1

your engine builder and cam grinder can give you all you need.

 

ok i will ask my cam grinder. now as for custom cam grinders. who should i go with?

 

Ed curtis

 

Bobby"the human poocano"Ritchards.
