    Negative, ghost rider...

    but, you can always convert. I wouldn't suggest it on a stock engine, it won't help much..

          No its not a pain! Just call ITS and get the pigtail and diagram and its good to go. I did a few m/a conversions and there only about 1-2 hours of work

            B cam sucks. Get a real one. Most of these larger cars like smaller, high torque cams. The stock explorer cam, the stock HO cam, and any other nice small cam works well.

            And don't even THINK about putting a B cam in a stock lopo....

              What he said. B cams are too much of a high rpm cam. You'd want stuff that makes power at like 1500 rpm on up otherwise it will dog off the line, then suddenly go like hell.

                hahaha. v8s are so different then fucking honda 4 bangers. it aint even funny. im kinda looking through trick flow and comp cams right now for a cam. another noob question, are the 302s considered a hydraulic flat tappet or hydraulic roller tappet?

                  the crazy cam will only hurt low end power where needed......fastest off the line box i've built so far has a bone stock 96 explorer motor with the explorer hi torque cam advanced 4 degrees

                    If you are thinking of putting a cam in the stock motor, don't waste your money. Please read the FAQ's in the tech areas. Cam is the last thing you want to change to make power. The computer will not work with it, the firing order will be different, etc... Please read and get familiar with the motor before modding.

                        Just a FYI the 85GT carb 5spd had roller cams. I use the distributors when i do a efi to carb swap.

                          Thats an exception, not the rule. All 86+ were roller tho. In 85, unless it was a Mustang GT with a stick, it was a flat tappet jobber.

                            Stay FI. It'll be worth it in the longrun. Are we talking CFI or SEFI? Anyway, you get more horsepower from fuel injection as well.

                              More power? Not necessarily, unless you're worse than I am at tuning carbs or try putting an 850 double-pumper on your stock lowpo. But as much as I'm enjoying my carb conversion, there are still many advantages to keeping a properly functioning SEFI system when doing upgrades (see mrltd's car for one good example). If your car is CFI, then you'll most likely want to think about getting a real fuel injection system (SEFI) or a carb.
