i got a 96 f150 with the 351 in it can you do this with the maf or not? people say it wont idle. also do you have any cats in there? or did you just bolt on the muffler?
@probey1989 MAF is the only way to go on F Series trucks when modding, otherwise you'll be spending a lot of money on programming it to run correctly.
@probey1989 I cammed mine on speed density and had idle problems, there is an adjustable plate you can put behind the IAC valve...solved my problem...MAF is def the way to go.
Damn how are some people getting lucky running these mods on stock speed density... My Lightning is jealous.. I want a nice lopey cam but I cant afford a MAF swap right now.
how do you like the cam? hp/torque wise what is it like and where does the power start and end at? im thinking about getting one of these cams for my 1988 f250. the 351w is a rollor block right? do you know if there are going to be any issues with clearances and what not on my otherwise stock engine? also im converting to mass air before hand i was told this cam wont idle on the speed density
sup sackman, not sure if you remember me or not from FSB as im not there anymore...anyway im doing a rebuild and was wondering what the biggest lift on a cam without changing injectors and all that other shit.
5.0 cylinder heads have to be drilled for use on the 351W. Intakes don't interchange due to deck height. Timing cover's interchange, just make sure its for correct water flow. Oil pans are the same. Distributors are not interchangeable.
hey i gotta 94 bronco with the 5.8L im gunna get the ford racing 303 cam and i was wondering if you did anything to the valve train i mean im gunna buy springs and shit
No, the majority of the 95's were not MAF, they were SD. The California models were MAF. Please know what your talking about if you plan on posting something.
i apologize i just did look that up and you are correct. but one thing don't be a cocksucker on here. its one thing to correct me on that, but being a dick is totally different. by the way the bronco sounds great. any idea of where your hp and torque are right now? btw we are both members over at FSB
I don't know where you think I was being a dick or a cocksucker, I absolutely am neither. Maybe it was the tone in the text....(*shrug*) I was just telling you that you can't tell me what I don't have. I haven't dynoed it, but I gotta be up to at least 300HP and at least 375-400 ft lbs of torque. FSB Rocks!!!
I left the computer alone, it is the stock computer. It also seems to take a week for the computer to learn the cam (especially after a battery disconnect). During the first week, it does stall every so often. After though, it does not stall out at all.
hey man, im seriously considering doing this type of cam swap on my SD bronco, but im mainly worried about my low-mid range power as I am also getting larger tires. How does this cam do in the low end? otherwise, any suggestions? Thanks
Is it really speed density or is it mass air?? I don't see how it could even idle with speed density and the e303.. Just wondering what your trick was if it is speed density lol
Well I didn't do alot of research. It was xmas week last year and I had to replace my intake gasket as it was leaking. I went as far to replace timing chain as well. So I decided to replace the cam too. I looked thru the ford motorsports catalog and this cam was 50 states street legal. I was told it had a nice lumpy sound. The power range starts at 2500 and goes to 6000. I had a 3 inch full exhaust done and honestly it only takes a second for the motor to reach 2500 rpm for the power 2hit
Well I can't realy say anything about MPG yet as I haven't actually taken it on2 the freeway for a trip. Won't be long though. Driving around town and can't keep foot out of it. I reused my lifters, after a REAL GOOD cleaning. Bare minimum, depends. Your valve springs should be replaced if stock because of the lift, but I did a complete tear down and rebuild which I would recomend. I also have a 3 inch full exhaust with flowmaster 40 that realy opened her up more.I still need 2 post a rev video.
I'm running it with stock everything except K & N air filter. Timing is set at 12*. People say it can't be done without the motor falling on its face with speed density but maybe they don't know what their doing. It works for me and LOTS of power. One problem I have is that ONLY when I run my A/C or my defroster, the motor will sometimes die at an idle. Otherwise NO ISSUES.
well i cut out 1 of the cats ran 3 inch back to a y pipe and have duals but i def wanna cam it this spring it needs a little more power lol

Its suppose to work better with MAF. The cam recommends MAF. No cats, and full 3 inch exhaust with flow 40. And it idles for me.

@sackman9975 i gotta 87 f150 and was wonderin what all you had to do to put the cam in any mods or is it as simple as gettin it and puttin it in
codylovesfords 1 year ago
Gotta be at least a roller block. Unless you get a set of linked roller lifters. Not everybody will get the same results as me either.
sackman9975 1 year ago
where did you find the e303 cam for a 351? ive been looking around and all i find is the cam for the 302
ford96broncokid 2 years ago
Same cam. Because it say's 302, it's interchangeable with the small block Ford series

how is the acceleration? what about the low end torque
greggk13fox 2 years ago
acceleration......great. I can even bark my tires at 25 mph while dropping into 1st and punching the throttle.
Low end torque is great. I tow here and there and really can't tell there's a load behind me,

Yes its speed density. No tricks, just proper timing and installation.
sackman9975 2 years ago
that sounds so sweet man!!! i cant belive it works with the speed density crap. what are all your specs on the truck and engine
muddrfockr 3 years ago
All the specs are pretty much listed. 351 w bored .030, E303 cam, heads milled to 59cc, 3 inch single exhaust with flowmaster 40
sackman9975 3 years ago
Perhaps you do need to find another exhaust shop. Not one of those famous TV ad type shops. Yes 3 inch full exhaust with custom Y pipe.

Real good torque. Alot more than stock but also I had my heads shaved so thats plays a part in the power area too. I'm happy with my results.

Any Changes in MPG???, stock lifters??....what is the bare minimum that has to be done to install this cam.
