any cam besides HO cam work in these lopo 5.0s that still clears stock valve covers?

Just checking if there are any aftermarket cams, cams other than HO cam from mustang, that fit and have clearance in these 5.0Ls?
and if so how much more power?

Also if i was to change to E7 heads and put on the crane cams 1.7 pedestal roller rockers will they clear my stock valve covers?

Like I said before in your other threads and what's written in the Tech articles:
No aftermarket cam has been proven to work with E7 heads will clear flat top pistons. If you wanna test one for us, go ahead.
1.7 rockers won't clear the pistons, so don't even think of using them.

Given all the considerations you need for these engines, maybe find a professional Mustang nut who builds the 302s and ask for prices on a complete engine? Maybe save time, money, and headaches? Just a thought since I'll probably do that, but want a 302 with a carburettor to eliminate all possible electronics under the hood (obviously, I'm not a fan of electronic anything).

ohhh, okay so then 1.6 roller rockers would be fine then right? since 1.6 is stock ratio correct?

Okay so at this point i would like to do the heads since that seems like the main HP gain, but what about just heads and complete upper intake(/w HO TB and egr spacer)?

would there be much gain from using complete upper intake(Doesnt look any different except TB is bigger) from HO without doing cam and ECU?
without ECU would my car bog at WOT with larger TB? or gain

i guess i am asking would it be worth making partial HO conversion E7 heads and complete Upper intake or just heads? power differences? any bog or good upgrade TB size?

We have a 95 mustang gt and when looking upper intake looks identical other than the plate that says HO and again the bigger TB is that 60or65 on stock mustang

If you only want to do the heads and HO intake (just the upper, the lower is the same) read this:

The upper intake is TOTALLY different, don't use it.
