Ford 302 cam modification

So i have a completely stock 302 out of a 1973 mustang that i'm swapping into another 1973 mustang. Other than a after market exhaust and a weinand intake with holley 600 or 650 (i don't know which, could find the code on google). I'm looking for a cam to use when i tear the engine down and rebuild. I'm gonna swap the heads to gt40 heads so what is gonna work with gt40 heads

There are a lot of details needed to spec a cam, like rear gears, purpose of car, stuff like that. Call-up Summit Racing in Akron & ask to talk to the cam guy - He'll set-you up.

At Comp Cams web site is a program to help you pick the "correct" cam. Its called Cam Quest. Has maybe 12 questions to answer. Make sure you enter your "future" heads flow data, intake type and carb CFM. When you are done, it will display H.P. Figures, torque estimates and about 10 cams to choose from (flat tappet, roller, etc). Its critical to answer the first few questions honestly. If one races only twice a yr, why buy a full race cam? Once you have narrowed down your choices, go to Summit for pricing.

  • Which Ford Racing cam is best for my 5.0? Building a 5.0 EFI, going cam, heads, throttle body, longtube headers and an o/r x pipe, Going to run nitrous but max 150 shot, out of the ford racing cams (b303, e303, etc.) Which would work best with my set up?
  • What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
  • 2013 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 or 2015 Ford Mustang 5.0? Looking into buying a mustang this summer. Really looking into the new models, but am also loving the BOSS 302 model… To my understanding people are saying that the 2015 mustang is basically a Boss 302 but even better. Of course thats one pro for the 2015 model, but at the end of the day… A Boss 302 is a Boss 302… No other one like it. Would just like to hear opinions or thoughts on which car would better or which car do hardcore mustang owners prefer?
  • 2008 mustang gt cam installation? Ok so I have an 08 gt! 5 speed. Next week I will buy the ford racing hot rod cams. And when they are installed. Do I really need the bama hand held tuner to tune the car to the cams? Or can I also tune it on the dyno? I do have a diablo sport predator hand held tuner, but where and how do I buy a custom tune for the cams? And also when I called the shop they asked if i had an sct tuner. Which I don't i have the DS TUNER…
