I've owned my truck for 6 years.. it hasn't leaked antifreeze for 2 weeks at the beginning of the season. The timing cover is leaking (oil/ antifreeze). Its time to tear it apart and fix. Was thinking of getting the arp bolts from LMR unless some one knows a better solution. Last time I did the water pump I purchased a dorman bolt kit I believe and there were a few bolts missing. Was also thinking about installing a cam while I had it apart. From what I'm reading.. from a lot of old archived post etc, the comp cam 35-255-5 seems to be a good upgrade. I've also read a few things regarding the HO mustang cam. I've seen alot of conflicting information regarding the mustang cam.. torque loss, not worth it etc, but I've also read that advancing it makes a difference as well. The truck is mostly stock (engine wise..- DUI coil, DUI distributor, Ford racing wires, plugs @ .055, k&n filter & 15 degree timing) Trans has a punisher VB & circle D 2600 Rpm converter. Which cam would do me well? I like the idea of going with the Ford cam. What would the cost difference be and where would a good place to get an entire kit be?
This will be a winter project.. along with the fact I need to get the truck repainted. Never ending project...
Thanks for any input.
