Don't go any bigger than a stock HO camComment

the rule of thumb is .500", anything more and you will run into problems.
Several guys on T-bird/Cougar sites are running the E-cam (.498" lift) with non-HO pistons and havent had any piston/valve contact issues.
like Mercracer said, the HO cam is your safest bet, you can add 1.7 rocker arms and increase the stock lift from .444" to .474"2003 Town Car Signature - 3.27 RAR, Dual exhaust and J-mod - SOLD 9/2011
