Yes it clears but it's always a good idea to check the clearance

gyrene2003

alright, so it seems the overall on this thread is the f13 is the best, vs the f14.

ive got an f14 in my SS (three years ago) and in the begining i was second guessing myself but after asking around ALOT the general consensus was that there both gonna be about the same on the street. i swapped from a comp cams 230 232 to the f14 with the same lsa and the seat of the pants difference was incredible even though the dyno numbers wernt that far apart because i didnt change the tune.
i dont think you can go wrong with either but if it were me id get the f14 high lift.

gyrene2003

I have been advised against a high lift 13 or 14 by all the local H/C guys i talk to around here.

Well, honestley, if anybody here really knew me, they would know that Ill probably go with the 14, since people say the 13.

Sigforty

Why are they advising against it? Either way both the regular and high lift versions are good choices.

gyrene2003

All of my friends say i dont need it.

why are your friends saying you dont need it? what is there about the high lift cams that they think you dont need?
the high lift makes more power than the standard lift cam with the same driveablity.
what is the goal your trying to achieve with this cam swap?

gyrene2003

if i get the dual springs that come with the 5.3 heads, will i be ok? Am i gonna have to change springs alot with the high lift?

You'll need a spring that is rated at atleast .650

Sigforty

I think the dual springs they use are rated to .660, and if so you will be fine. Just double check with whoever set up the heads.
