        the only difference I can think of, is the CFI cam is non-roller and the EFI (86 up) cam is hyd roller.

        the CFI cam should physically fit in the block, but you would need different lifters and pushrods to make it work.

            Should be close enough....

            I also have that complete 89 motor sitting in the yard.

              My Chilton manual list some camshaft specs. It says the lopo cam was the same from '82 (as far back as it goes) -'91 (as far forward as it goes) as far as lobe lift goes. It doesn't list duration or anything else that has to do with the actual camshaft profile. It lists lobe lift as .2375 intake/.2474 exhaust.

              For comparison, here are the HO specs for lobe lift:

              '83-'85 HO - .2600 in/.2780 ex
              '86-'91 HO - .2780 in/.2780 ex

              1988 Crown Vic LTD Wagon - daily beater
