f303 cam question

Would the pushrods have to be changed on a 5.0 HO engine if an F303 cam was put in? Cuz no one really changes the pushrods for the E303 but there is a big difference.... just would like some input. Thanks

no need to change pushrods. The base circle of the cam is the same, so I can't think of any reason. Just torque the rockers to factory spec and call it good.

I would check the contact patch on the top of the valve to verify proper pushrod length.

Any change made to the valve train could throw of the geometry.

The difference in the specs of those two cams isn't radical, but it's not a big deal to check.

That way.....you know. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
