Re: Getting a 5.4

Looks good. Should be good to go once you get the cam's straightened out. Bet it will make quite the difference in your Stang.

Being a pushrod guy, I'm going to presume that the cams don't go on left and right as you look at from the front. It's a mistake that I would make if I didn't know, but I would also spin it by hand before installing the motor so I could find any potential probelms like this one.
