so I have gotten a 5.8L 97 f-2 (not my first choice but hey I'll take it given the circumstances) now from what I understand the motor is heavily corked in the exhaust manifold and in the heads. now I am going to replace the cam and I have one in mind (a crane 444232) but im open to suggestions.im also looking into some tuned headers for the tuck. im wondering how I should go about increasing the performance in a cost effective manner, because I don't plan on having this truck for more than a couple year. I'm trying to set this truck up to play in the sand so again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for your time.

 

Welcome to FTE!

I've moved your thread to the 1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks forum and out of the Super Duty forum. You should get a better response here as this forum covers the 1997 HD models also.

 

ah ok, thank-you

 

No problem and again, welcome to FTE.

 

I just bought the exact same model/year/engine combo. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
