Sorry probably a dumb question but i just want to make sure im not skipping anything. I plan on putting a stock 87 HO cam in a 95 F150 302 block with gt40p heads. do i need to degree the cam when i install it?

Yes, you always need to degree a cam. If its off when you put it in dot to dot it could run like crap or move the curve up or down. Have to make sure the valve events are happening when supposed to. With that being said you need to find the stock cam specs. And the block is roller so everything will switch over fine.

Is the F-150 block a roller block?

Degreeing a cam is a great idea, but I'm not sure where you'd find a spec sheet for a stock camshaft.

Yes that block is a roller block but I am not 100% sure about the firing order tho?

That F150 should be MAF also......correct?

[new8514]

Yes, 94 & 95 F150s should be MAF

I have the 87 ford powertrain service manual will that give me the specs i need to degree the cam then? Also the truck the engine came out of was MAF does that matter if im my car is still running speed density?

[Smurf stang]

What do you plan on using from the truck and what do you plan on using from the mustang?

[Nikon1021]

are you using the f150 block in a mustang, or mustang parts for a f150? the f150s that are maf are the autos, some 250s were maf.

[argyle1812]

Im using basically just the short block since i have gt40p heads, HO cam, and aftermarket intake.

[Nikon1021]

is it going into a mustang or f150, and is it a ho motor?

[argyle1812]

Its going into a mustang idk if its an HO motor but from what i read by 95 all f150s had the HO engine supposedly.

[Nikon1021]

not true..do you know what the plug routing was before it was removed, and with all the work your doing why not just get a new after market cam?

[Nikon1021]

also you might run into a problem with headers if not mistake the exhaust ports are different between the f150, and mustang.

[argyle1812]

sorry i dont remember the spark plug routing. i dont think the exhaust port location matters since im running gt40p heads anyway right? And yes if i have to degree the HO cam im thinking about just buying a new .one,

[Nikon1021]

ahh yes gt40 heads thats right, and yea you can get a better cam, better performance, and it'll be easier.
