    HO Cam

    What cars/trucks came with the HO cam I can use for the HO conversion? The local yard has a 1986 Mustang, but CoolCats.Net said the 86 was to worst to cam to use. The yard in Brimingham has one 89 Mustang. But I don't want to drive two hours to find out the motor or cam is already removed.

    I know about the Mark VII's, but for some reason they are not listed on the Pull-a-part web site. So, what other vehicles can I find a cam to use?

    Yeah, 86 HO cams are the worst from what I heard....

    Supposedly they have the firing order of a HO, and the specs of a lopo cam. I can't confirm that's true though.

    87+ is what you want.

            This.

            No labor involved, and would be cheaper after gas and all.

                I was going to say, the cam was the same from '85 through '88, with the dual-pattern cam getting an E8 part number IIRC and coming out in '89.

                What's this about small intake and TB? Aren't all 5.0 Mustang intakes and TBs quite small?

                  86 had like a 55mm vs the 60 on later years. The upper intake was the same as the lopo intake. It was just not as free flowing a motor.

                          My '87 LX Stang always ran well. The '86 MK VII engine in the GM CP pulls hard on the highway, kind of sluggish from a roll though....

                            Thanks for the info! OK...I'm an id10t...! I cannot seem to register for the Corral site. I type in the security answer and I get rejected every time... the question is:

                            Type the model of car this website is about in the following box..

                            I've tried:
                            Corral
                            corral
                            Mustang
                            mustang
                            Late Model
                            Late Model Mustang
                            Cobra

                            Nothing works...so here it is.. I'm and idiot! Has anyone else joined this forum? What am I doing wrong?
