On a 5.8 with stock heads and stock stall converter, take a look at the Comp 35-255-5.

 

You should check the casting info on the block to verify what you have. A 94 should have a f4te, which would be a roller ready block. It will be good to know for sure though, as that will affect which cam to get. If I remember correctly, the casting numbers should be on the bottom side of a ridge, just below the passenger-side cylinder head.

You mentioned that you were planning on doing something with the intake, but remember that the van has limited room above the intake manifold. I believe that the performance truck intakes are too tall, but you can certainly look into that.

Headers can fit, though again you have to watch the clearance around the doghouse opening. I installed Pacesetter headers when I modified the 5.8 in my van, though I did end up having to box out a small area where one of the primary tubes sticks into the footwell area a small amount. I can give you pics or more info on that if you want.

Sure if have picture post them, my van has a 4 inch body lift on it to.

 

would the ford racing E-303 cam work with my engine?

 

No. That cam will only work with a mass air system. Not SD compatiable

 

Well then tell me how this guy did YouTube - jj7365's Channel im not trying to be rude but he did.

 

Indeed he did, but his truck came mass air equipped. You can see the Mass air sensor at the beginning of the video.

 

my bad your right. do you have any videos of your truck?

 

I found this site that has mass air conv. kit that work with the E4OD tranny. IST Products check it out.

 

1500 bucks........

 

Is there a cheaper way to do it?

 

im not to sure,im reasearching the same things you are.Im building my 87 e150 into a chase van for desert racing and i ran into the same wall you did...Dang speed density!!!
Thanks for the link...at least its a step in the rite direction.

 

no vids. soon though. just got hte thing fixed today. Good luck with your search. ill be keepin gan eye on this thread to se eif i can help any further

 

A 4" body lift should give you the clearance that you would need, but here is a picture of mine:

Sweet thanks. Are you running mass air on your van?
