Time for motor mods
This was posted in the 80-86 forum but I was told to try here because I have an EFI 302.
Well I think its time for motor mods on my 302 EFI. I think im going to sell the nitrous due to lack of knowledge about it and not wanting to blow my motor. Soooo I want some other go fast goodies. What would be recommend for a 302 EFI?
I would love a big cam but im not 100% sure im comfortable tearing into my motor. I have torn apart a few carb v8 motors and plenty of 4 wheeler and dirtbike motors but never an EFI.
What should I look into for some more power?
Im thinking longtube headers.. Any opinions on brands? ect..
What would be a nice cam if I do look more into tearing apart my motor? I love rough idles and dont care what rpms range. Would I need to upgrade the lifters,rockers or anything else?
Any other parts I should look into?
Thanks alot

What is the difference in the stock rockers and 1.7 rockers?
Ill go ahead and get new valve covers too while the intake is off.
Any other mods I should look into? Are the upper intakes restrictive or the lower on the 5.0s?

it will open the valve more and longer.. like a cam but with less lift..
the upper intake is good enough untill 300+ hp.. get some headers.. and a free flowing exhuast.. and that rockers installed and you will notice a BIG difference
dont forget to measure the new valve covers if they fit under the intake ..or you will have to use intake spacers

Had hard time finding valve covers that would fit with the EFI.The cheapest I could find were $135 and I just cant afford all that right now.
