I would gladly take anything from this list.

You don't want an e303, letter cams are ancient tech, and that will be horrible in your truck. If you must get an old school letter cam at least get a b, but there are so many better modern OTS cams out there.

For valve springs these seem to be the best deal out there. I've used the trickflow kit twice now, but will probably buy these next time I need to do a set

Id love one of those comp cams max energy ones or a lunati voodoo but the e cam has decent idle qualities and will be a nice mild upgrade for a street motor.

Also being dirt cheap is pretty nice. With that combo I should be looking at around 320 to 340hp at the motor.

I'm going to mark those springs though, they look like what I need.

I know this might sounds retarded, but this will be my first engine in building. I have to take the heads off right?

You should be taking them off to get them ported anyway.

Yeah I found a speed shop here in Denver that specializes in fords, they have had quite a decent amount of experience building up motors, usually Fe motors but they have done quite a few gt40 heads

Porting P heads can be tricky, and it's almost not worth it if your paying someone to do it.

You can do the valve springs with the heads on if you want, then you wouldn't have to buy new bolts or head gaskets.

However pulling them off, cleaning them out, lapping the valves, and making sure their straight isn't a bad idea for a homejob refresh

Last junkyard exploder engine I bought must have been overheated really bad, heads needed to be decked quite a bit to get them straight.

I still think you should go with a better cam, in a heavy truck it's gonna have no balls down low.

Also, shop around in the corral classifieds, tons of great deals to be had, if you can stretch your budget you could easily pick up some used namebrand aftermarket heads for cheap.

Oh right they have Ps don't they, nevermind on the porting bit.

Yeah I hear that. I'm just trying to keep this as low budget as possible. I put everything in that list as a "nothing is working and i have to buy everything."

Ideally, id like to spend as little money as possible

>tfw put an LSD on my christmas list and my dad was actually receptive to the idea and started asking me for specific information about models and brands
yes my family does lists because we all live in different states and don't know each other well enough to just guess at gifts anymore
