I have a 98z, it has about 76000 miles on it and i wanted to install headers trex cam fast intake and other little bolt ons. I was wondering if all the bolt ons and especially the cam would hurt the motor considering it has alot of miles. Thanks would really appreciate anybodys input.

I had my 1st cam installed around 73-74K and my new cam has been in since 78K and im at a little over 80K miles now.

I just done one on a 90,000 mile motor. Did cam, pushrods, headers, ory pipe, oil pump, and timing chain. Runs like a champ. With a dyno tune.

I got my cam put in, and I'm well over 100k. Didnt change timing belt or oil pump though, may do that later. If the timing belt is tight, I wouldnt worry about it. If you have good oil pressure, same thing there unless you have the money to spend on it. At the time I did mine, I didnt have it.

I plan on installing a cam only next year w/anticipated 75K miles.........bottom end should be fine despite the high mileage. You'll be changing springs out in 30K anyhow, so you may consider an engine rebuild after 100K miles. If you aren't experiencing power loss, or leakage issues, GO FOR IT!

BTW, FSFB (First State F-body) is having a bunch of guys (PA/DE/NJ) racing at Cecil County Dragway this weekend (10/29)......along w/some Mustang club attendees (Now that should prove to be interesting)
