1993 Cobra Registry

So I went back to my home town this weekend to grab some things out of my 92 GT. back in 2009 I bought a ford racing E303 cam with all the related components like: pushrods, lifters, gasket kit, springs, timing chain and gears. All is brand new and still in the boxes. I never had time to install because it was my daily driver and my only car.

I know the cobra cam is slightly different so here are my questions: will an E303 make much difference? Would it be worth tearing the motor apart to refresh it? It was CARB legal when I bought the stuff, is it still legal?

I have no idea how to do this, but I have a buddy with a junkyard of foxes and vast knowledge of 5.0 motors. I think it would be a great learning experience for me even though my car would be down for a while. It's at 69k miles and has never been rebuilt.

Here are the specs:
This Ford Racing M-6250-E303 camshaft has a 220° intake duration at.050", and a 220° exhaust duration at.050". This E Cam also features a 0.498" intake lift with 1.6 rockers and a lobe separation angle of 110°. Requires upgraded valve springs and a high stall torque converter is recommended for automatic transmissions.

The E-cam is a solid cam and these engines like them when you add Heads at the same time. If you are just adding a cam and nothing else I wouldn't bother. Your car has very low miles for being a 93 and it shouldn't need any "refreshing".... Now, if you had 100,000 plus miles it would make more sense. Just my two cents.

But, if you ever decide to want more horse power Keep the cam as it is one that most people like to use on these engines.

Agree with Romo on this one. Unless you're planning more mods or there's something wrong with your Cobra motor, I'd hold off on a "refresh" and enjoy your ride as is.

Thanks for the professional opinions guys. I may never put enough miles on it to warrant a rebuild, nor drive it into the ground when I do put miles on it. I like how she runs already, I just have these spare parts laying around now. If I do decide to sell the stuff I'll put it up here before anywhere else.

Do you have to change rockets with the e cam? May need a set of 1.6s
