Hi All,
My rebuild was on hold for a month or so. I had to make the "big" camshaft
decision.
This is not my first engine build, but it is the first in a while, so I
read a lot and got more confused with each read. I have also called several
tech lines.
I have a 1985 roller cam 302. It has stock fulcrum rockers (not rail type)
and has pushrod guide plates.
A) I splurged for a set of Edelbrock 60229 Performer aluminum heads.
B) Edelbrock Performer 2121 Intake manifold.
C) Holley 0-1850 600CFM carb
D) I bought a Ford Motorsports M-6250-B303 camshaft
E) Ford Motorsports M-6565-L302 pushrods
(on engine teardown, I found the engine has what appears to be a Edelbrock
2121 cam (per end markings)
1) I was told I can re-use my roller lifters, they are low miles since new.
Your thoughts?
2) I read that the "stock" timing chain and gears are retarded for
pollution control. My chain and gears are a double row set with E3AE-A3A on the
gear. Any thoughts?
3) The replacement FMS push rods do NOT have the "collars" the originals
did. The collars look like a band of metal about 1/3rd the way up (or down)
the PRT. I was told these are to protect against valve float? Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
