like others said that is way to big of a cam for E7 heads, even with bigger valves, you would need a ton of port work and the cost involved (unless doing it all yourself) would be much hogher than looking for a better head (GT40) or perhaps an aluminum head.

If you have a small amount of work done to the heads then the E303 or B303 cam may be a better choice...there are also some very good cams by the main cam suppliers they may be better.

I put a b cam in a stock motor and it worked and sounded great. Had power all through rpm range. With the stock heads i would do a b cam.

BAck in the day, typically you grind down the exhaust cold air injection hump, port match hog out the intake/exhaust bowls and run a 1.84" intake / 1.56" exhaust valves and do a real nice 5 angle on the valve seats, that is about the max you can do on the E7's, you can do more but it would cost more and you get into the price opf cheaper aluminum performance heads.

Honestly, for what you're probably going to pay to get those worked, you could get some GT40 irons. They're around $300 or less a pair now, or you could find some at a pull-a-part on a 96-EARLY 97 V8 Explorer for about $100. I had some E7's on my coupe that I port matched, and ported out on the exhaust side that did OK. Then I got my GT40's, had them milled down .030", with no porting, and it made a drastic difference on power.
