bikerjoe · 02-22-2006, 12:30 PM

cams (vt stage 2) with new valve springs

and LT headers (flowtechs)

A case of beer and a bottle of Aleve. Personally, I wouldn't trust myself doing the cam swap but your prolly a better mechanic than me. Good luck with all of it tho. Are you dropping the K-member for the header install? Search for csledds pics of her install, it makes my eyes hurt.

Good choice on the Flowtechs should be a nice sound...I assume your also doing the the flowtech h pipe as well?

bikerjoe · 02-22-2006, 01:00 PM

no just trading my xpipe for a shorty xpipe....

roushrider81 · 02-22-2006, 01:01 PM

n/m i though i was in new topic lol

StangMan04 · 02-22-2006, 01:02 PM

LT's are a bitch plain and simple. But we didnt drop the k-member either. My next mods will either be the 4:10s i bought, or vt stage 2 blower cams, then saving for the 1.7KB

roushrider81 · 02-22-2006, 01:08 PM

what the hell is that K thing??

Lunati · 02-22-2006, 01:10 PM

yes L/T's are a pain in the arse...just drop the k-member and if u have acess to a lift, make use of it. dont rush things cuz u dont wanna have a leak. good luck bro.

There easy to do just time consuming. Thats why they're a bitch. U need to have patience for them.

stanger00 · 02-22-2006, 01:38 PM

you will need some special tools for the cams. you will need something to degree them, and you will probably be better off buying new cam gears since the ones on the stock cams are pressed into place. go to modular depot or whatever othe mustang forum and do a search for cam installs. you should gather some good info there.

roushrider81 · 02-22-2006, 01:49 PM

how long does it take to put headers in about 8-10 hours?
