cam shaft parts

I agree,with Simi Stang. If you decide later to change heads, then you will have to do it all over again. (except the cam). I have done several cam swaps on 5.0's and almost all of them had some sort of problem with the lifters, later. Thats my luck, but I am sure not everybody has had that kind of luck. But for the 100-120 dollars, I say f--k it, get the new lifters, nothing worse then having problems with the lifters later after you were just there!

As goes for the cam, I would wait till you have the rest of your set-up. Think of it this way,...the cam is the brain, it tells when to have things open and close and how much air to allow to go into an engine. When you have the complete combo, (ported heads and intake or not), a custom made cam will be the best for YOU!
You and your car are unique in your own way, why not get a custom grind cam?
thats my 2 cents
