I have a 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. And since my car only has 88k miles, 3k of which I have put on it myself. I would like to do some work with the engine over the next year, right now I'm in the planning and parts gathering phase.
This phase comes with me asking a lot of dumb, or rehashed questions if I can't locate a clear and straight forward answer for my small brain.
Does my 5.0 engine have a roller cam, if yes, does this mean if I were to go through the other mods required to do the HO swap, would I need to do anything special to use a roller cam? If I'm changing heads, is there anything special I should worry about with oiling differences or should any Foxybody HO compatible head work with the right cam kit and lifters?
I'll be doing the engine mods when the car gets paint later this year, I'd just rather spend the money on parts now, so I can spend the money on all the unexpected stuff and unknowns when I actually tear into it later.
Expect the unexpected.
