with the e 303 do you really need springs with stock rockers. i hear debate all day. think it has more to do with rpm. how r u liking the e cam? what heads r u running? sorry to pry but i tend to be a sponge when some one is well versed in a certain subject. i am thinking of running the e 303 with stock springs till i go with rockers and rev it higher. what do you think

I like the E cam , gives me good RPM and still has good low end if its tuned right , im not 100% sure , but with the stock 1.6 rockers i think you would be ok with the stock springs , you can check with FR , i use a set of 69 dooe 351 heads that i found on craigs list , they were popular with the mustang guys before all the aftermarket heads came out , they allready had new valves and seats 190-160 , screw in studs and some porting , they don't have the air ports in the back of the heads , so you can't use an air pump with them , i like them they work good for me , when its time to rebuild the 302 i may go with a set of alum heads and stroke it to a 347 , but thats in the future , the 302 HO i have in it now is low milage and very strong......Lew

thanks again

I have a 2wd reg cab SB with headman elite long tubes , the only thing i did was grind a little off the pass side frame rail for clearence for one of the header tubes , i removed the front fuel tank , so my exhaust system is very simple , from the collectors they go straight back about 2 1/2 ft over the trans support ( duels ) , then i have an H pipe then about 1 ft pipe to FM super 44 mufflers with turn downs , my exhaust ends ay the back of the cab......Lew
