Parts Recomendations?

chris91LX · 11-25-2001, 12:39 AM

Looks like I might finally be ready to get my heads soon, so I'm looking to get some small stuff out of the way. Does any one have any recomendations for new Lifters or Timing Chain sets? Summit has the Ford Racing basic model for 65.95 for the whole set and the steel version for 79.95 that doesn't have the roller pins or thrust plate. They also have the Crane Hydraulic Roller lifters for 159.95 and the Ford replacement hydraulic roller lifters for 109.95, is there any diference? Anyone have any other recomendations? Any other suggestions? I'm going to do a leak down test this week and it looks like I'm leaning toward AFR 165 heads, Cobra intake, and I haven't decided on a cam yet. I'm also going to get new roller rockers so any suggestions there would be appreciated. Thanks guys...

it really doesnt make much diff. i would prolly get a double roller and if you want to index cam get the proper chain.. as far as lifters ai think have FMS in my motor.. they were 110-115 i think GET NEW PUSHRODS! most heads need hardened pushrods. as far as cams go i like the lunati. i have the 51025 in mine its EFI it idles SUPER NASTY!! sounds great has a snap to it! i would NOT get any FMS cams!! hell be diff, get something NOBODY around you has thats what I did.. well atleast in an EFI car!!

I already bought the FRPP Hardened pushrods and put them in with my roller rockers. I thought the Ford timing chans were double rollers, maybe I'll have to check that. Thanks for the reply.
