I want to do a few things, but I need some parts compatibility help.

Rear axle spline count for this era 8.8 rear end?

I want to install a 4.56 rear ring and pinion along with a Detroit Locker.


The front Dana 44 will get a True Trac.

Now for the engine.

I would like to install a Comp Cams 35-320-8 camshaft, but what after market head will work with this camshaft?

Duration 264/270 Lift .544/.54

I am not quite sure if a GT40 head will work with this camshaft.

 

31 Spline.

Any, but the valve springs used should be compatible with the valvetrain package(cam and rockers) you plan to use.

That is actually a misprint, this cam produces 0.512" lift with 1.6 rockers.

 

To keep from going ala carte, would this set up work with 1.6 rockers and machined STOCK heads?

 

if its a 1996 its already a roller block. you might want to check on the cam as you don't need a modified base circle for your block.

you might be better off not getting the push rods until you can check the geometry when assembled with the heads back on. your local machine shop might be worth talking to. same on the springs.

prices wont be much different in the end but you wont end up with extra or sent back parts if you do the ala carte.
