Default Head and cam combo question....

Will the MS4 fit under the TSP 5.3L heads? I'm buying a car that has a decent 232/234 comp cam with the TSP 5.3L heads, and I'm wanting to swap it out for the MS4.

Is that a good combo? Bad combo? Will it even work?

Thanks..

The PRC 5.3 heads have to be built specifically for the MS3.

The MS4 will not fit without flycutting. However, we can recess the valves enough to have sufficient PTV with the MS3 cam. Shoot me a PM with what you are looking to do with the car and we can spec a cam to meet you needs.

Thanks!
