94 MK VIII Teksid into 67 Fairlane

eschaider said:

You should consider the supercharged version of the engine. The 281 cubic inch n/a version of the engine is a 300 to 350 hp engine with tuning and mods with weak torque but good rpm capabilities. In a car like a 67 Fairlane t would produce a disappointing performance in n/a form.

I don’t know about the 2003 Cobra cams, I used some from an 01.
There are two other companies that make performance cams for this engine if you don’t mind dropping an additional 2 grand

I went with a 94 Mark VIII setup at first in my 63 Fairlane. I used the stock wiring with it's PCM, put in a Moates Quarter Horse, IMRC deletes,l swapped to Cobra heads, cams and intake, Long tubes. With the factory Mark pistons and the B heads, you have a 9.9:1 compression ratio. That's 10:1 basically which is great. Once I put all the cobra stuff on, I thought it was a dog still. Swapping to the Holley Terminator X Max to control it was the best think I did. It doesn't play around with the IMRC crap that I deleted. It really woke the car up. I did end up putting a V3 Si vortech on it too. Plenty of power to go around with only 5psi. The Lincoln is a heavy car. Probably heavier than the fairlane you have. It'll get around and you have tons of aftermarket stuff out there for them now that the Coyote is the hot thing everyone wants. We get their parts they throw out View attachment 176272
because of their new found fettish.

Yes, I run a Rod and Customs "Mustang II" style front end. I have seen a K member setup with heavily shaved shock towers fit a 4V DOHC between them but that's still a small bay like mine. You have more but how much? I don't know. Get out the tape measure and start looking up engine dimensions. But don't fear the power. They work and are very efficient as well. Sound good too!

Those cams are both used and also use 10mm fastener hardware. If you are intent on using the 03/04 Cobra cams, I have a brand new set, never run, that have been drilled and tapped for 1/2 x 13, 8740 ARP 12-point bolts that I'll sell for the same $300 price. ARP specs the torque on a 10mm 8740 fastener as 62 ft/lbs. The ARP spec on the 1/2 inch 8740 bolt is 125 ft/lbs. Ford specs the torque on their 10mm TTY single-use fasteners at 30 ft/lbs plus 90˚ of additional rptation. The ARP fasteners are reusable the FRPP fasteners are not. The cams will need both the ARP bolts and four ARP washers that are 0.275" thick. Both the 12 point bolts and washers are standard off-the-shelf ARP items available through Summit. Let me know what you would like to do.

You are not.

The 96-98 cams have a longer duration intake cam and the same duration exhaust cam.

I misread the post. Apologies for the false alarm.

In the 03/04 SVT Cobra Forum, check in the TToC under the Engine heading, and you will find a posting named Cam and Valve Timing Spreadsheet by yours truly. When you open it up, you will find almost all the Ford Modmotor cams, their nomenclature, their specs, and their part numbers. There are also a number of aftermarket cams listed. The Ford part numbers change a whisker across the years, but you should be able to identify the cams easily from the data there. NA/SVT was good enough to share some Cam Doctor specs he had personally collected for several of the cams listed. Where he did, I have noted it.

I bought that this year but haven't been thru it yet. I'm going to dig it out and it'll be my night time reading.

Those early Cobra intake cams are worth some power.

cast crank should be fine for NA. Forged might be better for boost.
