Hey, this is Newman. We did a buildup a couple years ago on a lil 86 ranger. We built a 347 stroker with ford motorsport alum. heads, 1050 dom. and a c4 auto. Didnt like trucks before, but that one made a believer of me. Keep on doin what you are doin.
yea my engine in my 84 F150 is also from a 1990 mustang. People keep telling me it won't work good in a truck but I have had bigger cams in trucks before and it was fine. I guess if it does kill the torque I could just do a gear swap. lol
i don't really see where it would make too much of a difference about the mustang cam in a truck. Most people just have to try to be right you know. lol but yeah if worse came to worse you could always re gear it.
How does that cam work for ya? I am think of running that cam but people are telling me that it will kill the bottom end power since I have a stock geared 4x4. What do you think?
it does well for me. this engine came out of a 90' mustang originally. It has great low end torque. the top end is fair with it, but i can't really say because i hav'nt got to drive this truck yet(still a work in progress), but when i had this engine in my mustang, it would lay one hell of a burnout, so that tells you it has good torque, but the car was also regeared.
