Another 5.8 efi build question
69 Bronco 35 inch tires, 4.10's, manual transmission
I'm building a 95 5.8 and looking for advice on cam and heads. My goal is good power from idle to 5000. I'm keeping the cr between 9 and 9.5. Fuel injection will be Edlebrock performer car manifolds, mustang a9l computer, properly sized tb, injectors, and maf; or I may go with the Mass Flo efi setup. I'm leaning toward Comp Cam's xe264hr ( 212 intake 218 ex @.050, 512 in .512 ex 114 lsa)and Edlebrock Performer 1.9/1.6 heads. What do you think? Is there a better setup?

Thanks for the input. I'm about to drop a lot of hard-earned cash on this build and I want to make sure I'm not making any mistakes. The TW heads do look good.

[QUOTE=nflfreak43;12932846]Trick Flow is the only way to go I feel..
From personal experience and pure flow/dyno numbers..
And ya can go a lil bigger like the 190, but the 170 will produce a ton of low end..[/
Perfect. The Comp xe264hr is pretty common I' m finding. Are you happy with it?

Yeah that cam works well, it's not ideal for a 5.0 truck it's a little softer than stock below 2000rpm but that's the nature of the 5.0 anyway it likes more gearing, I had a similar grind in my 5.8 and it was awesome all around so I don't see you being disappointed.

I found out that my gas tank evap line had rusted in two when I replaced the front tank last summer, and since my truck doesn't have a canister purge valve that means this was a steady vacuum leak. After splicing it back together I no longer had the surging and stalling problem.

That's what I like to hear. I'm going to use the xe264hr and TF fast as cast 170cc heads i think. Now if I could only get my machinist to get moving on the short block!

Surging and occasional stalling?

Yeah. It's funny when you talk to machinists about that. The ones that aren't set up to balance say it's not necessary unless you have a race engine, and the shops that have the equipment say otherwise. I'm having mine balanced.
