Engine Too Old?

Hey guys, I got a 89 Bronc with a 351W. It has about 150,000 Miles on it but it runs great. Do you think there are too many miles on it for a cam and heads. thanks

Rich

personally, if you are going to rip it apart that far you might as well yank it out and get it redone. I know it costs more but you'll be happier with the performance and chances are you have lots of blow by anyway. You'll just end up doing it later. On top of that, you need to install new cam bearings with a new cam. You will most certainly have to remove the block for that.... unless you have some amazingly creative skills...
