Hey everyone,
I have been gathering parts for a while to rebuild my old oil consuming 5.0 ho. I recently purchased a complete low miles 2000 Explorer 5.0. I have found a Ford B and E cam for cheap on Kijiji ( Canadian Craigslist) I know there are better cams out there, but this is a budget build. Here's the specs and parts:
1989 LX notchback with T5 and 3.55 gears.
2000 Explorer 5.0 with untouched GT40p heads
1.6 Trickflow roller rockers
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
65mm throttle body (converted explorer)
Stock MAF
19lbs explorer injectors
MSD billet distributer
Mac gt40p shorties
Pypes 2.5 off road x pipe
Flowmaster super 44s with dumps
I realize I will need new valve springs regardless of cam choice. The car is just a fun toy. No track time, not daily driven. Also no smog testing where I'm located.
B or E?
This might be a stupid question, will it require a tune ?
Thank you
