If you need a cam I have brand new cam that has never been in a motor. Just let me know if you want it

B303 is on a 112º LSA. .480 lift (w/1.6 rocker)
E303 is on a 110º LSA. .498 lift "
F303 is on a 114º LSA. .512 lift "

TFS stage 1 is 112º LSA with .499/.510 lift.

XE274HR is 112º LSA but .555/.565 lift. More duration too.
I would recommend at least a 180cc intake port with this...many aftermarket heads come with .550-lift springs, which is not enough for this cam.

for the price of head work, why not ditch the E7's and find some gt40 or 40ps?

I have a B cam here 5,000 miles or so, been in my storage unit 80 bucks shipped

keep the f cam and quit playing around with e7 heads. Cam swaps are not worth much on a stock headed car. Save your money until you can afford to get a good set of aluminum heads

I agree,you could not tell much diff. in those cams buy themselves,get some heads.

the heads are being done for free! bigger valves ect. i know they arent worth much but hey its better than having no heads on it at all! im in the market for some good heads but until then why not have them done for free!

thanks!

Blackcoupe on here ran a carb. 302 with ported E7's and I beleive an E cam. It was a pretty fast car. If he gets on here anymore, I'd talk to him. I want to say he was running low 12's, but I may be wrong

Good thing it's free, cause it's just polishing a turd.
