Pushrod Problems GT40P Swap
#31
So it has been a while since I have posted thanks to work and other matters but I have finally made some headway, or at least made up my mind. Summit and Comp Cams were excellent with their customer support and they warrantied me a new cam and lifter set no questions asked. This has obviously made up my cam choice because of budget reasons. With the money I had saved for the roller conversion I purchased a used set of Trick Flow twisted wedge 170 heads with 2.02 intake and 1.90 exhaust valves and a 61cc combustion chamber completed with 1.6 ratio Trick Flow roller rockers and 3/8 studs with 5/16 pushrod guide plates. I am sending the engine down to Charlie Philips at Lone Star Machine Shop in FairField, Texas to be built. Looking for about 10:1 compression with a .060 over bore and either hyper or forged pistons. I would Like to do a small shot of nitrouse in the future.

I think the heads are an awesome move! But IMHO, I do think the flat tappet cam is the wrong way to go. I know you got it warrantied which made the choice easier. Earlier, you mentioned Howards. Howards lifters are made by Morel which is a division of Callies. Morel makes the best link bar lifter out there. Something that might ease that transition is looking for a used roller cam. A lot of the Mustang guys will use the Trick Flow cams over a Ford letter cam. You might be able to check over on Corral.net in the 5.0/5.8 engine parts classified section to see if they have something of interest to you.

Truck is a weekend cruiser and will see some track time. It is a 1980 F100 2wd Long bed with a 3/5 drop. Trans is a World class T5 out of an SN95. 8.8 rear end with full spool and 4:10 gears. Running and Edlebrock RPM Air Gap intake. Have an MSD 6A ignition and Pro Billet distributor. Haven't completely decided on a carb or size yet. Will be running forged pistons for a small shot of spray in the future. Going to use ARP hardware in the bottom end. Shooting for 10:1 compression and 93 octane pump gas.

Cam suggestion
i am using a Comp Cams 512 lift 220 duration cam and it’s building CRAZY power from 2,000-6,000 RPM then kinda falls on its face. But, thats the RPM range I want for my “sleeper” build anyway so I LOVE this cam!!! Its a Extreme Energy camshaft. I also have the “sewing machine chatter” and am running 1.7 roller rockers. The chatter doesn’t bother me much as the sweet sounding 3” exhaust with flomaster 40’s hides that sound (unless the hoods open) so you don’t even notice it. At the end of the day I call it a WIN.
