i found out that i have ported heads, so thats a plus.
the cam that was in the car is a comp cams xr265hr14 i think its 212/218 525/529 114lsa. car made numbers in sig with this cam and a crappy weiand intake. im thinking the ms3 is gonna work pretty well. the only thing im worried about is, i had 7.300 comp cams pushrods and tsp sent me 7.400. i hope the heads werent milled or something. although the cam is in and the engine turns over ok by hand.

 

Id DEFINITELY check your piston to valve clearence before you fire it up! Since you had 7.3 push rods.

 

Check the Lifter pre-load too man that will tell you something.

 

well it runs. i havent been able to run it very long as i worked on it all night and started it a 5:30 in the mourning. it started right up and the computer didnt seem to have to much trouble with the cam. im gonna wait till later and bleed the cooling system and let it warm up.
