New to the Site/ Help
Hey everyone, Im new to the site and i own a 89 Ford Mustang 5.0 I recently installed a fresh 306 cid motor that i bought off a guy that had a manual tranny, and was running nitrous. Hence the camshaft he chose was huge! I have an automatic car and it has having problems with shutting off because the cam and lope is too heavy for my car. I dont have very much money, but i have an camshaft i wanna change it out with. I noticed motorgen is a tight knit community of forum followers and plenty people have been helped out on this site by members. I am reaching out to anyone who can help me change a camshaft over two days. Its my daily driver so would have to be done on a friday and saturday. Anyone who is on SoCal hit me up PLEASE! It wont go unrewarded. If someone has a 5.0 mustang, i will give some eibach proline lowering springs, and some cash. If you dont want those, i have a front mount intercooler along with some other things and cash. Like i said anyone who has experience and is in socal i would really appreciate help as ive never changed one. Thanks in advanced everyone. I will post pictures of my car asap! Also dont know where to post this so please move if i posted in wrong place.

Welcome aboard. :thumbs_up: I'm sure a 5.0 or otherwise mechanically competent user will chime in shortly.

Cool thanks alot man. I usually wouldnt go looking for help. But i have never changed a cam shaft, and the car is really hard to drive on the street because of the idle problems due to the cam shaft. Im gonna post some pics up in 5 mins.

Yea, well i know all the steps to do it. But the only catch is it has to get done by working on it from friday to sunday. So i need someone who is experienced with that sort of thing and zeroing out timing and the cs.

Nice loking car, welcome to the board. I am pretty sure just pulling the radiator is all that will need to be done, but then again I am no expert. I am sure Ron (94cobra69ss396) would know though and how knows he might even take that CS off your hands for his nephew's stang!

Thanks alot man. The other side of the car doesnt look so hot though, no body damage but theres some clearcoat damage on the other side so i took a picture of the good side ha. I know how to take it out, just never have and dont wanna mess anything up. Upper and lower intake, all the accessories come off, timing cover comes off, timing chain, take of valve covers, loosen rockers, pull up the distributor a little bit and it should slide out. But i dont know how to set all the timing, and make sure everything is set at 0. That's why i need help. If he would really want it, i would give him the camshaft and lowering springs if he helps me take it apart and put it back together in 2 days.

Where are you located? Do you have power tools and an air compressor? Have you already picked up new gaskets? Do you already have another cam to install? If so, what cam or what are the specs on it? What size stall converter do you have? How about the rear gear ratio?
Another stupid question but do you know what cam is in the car now? What happens that makes you think that it's the cam causing the issue? You said the engine is fresh but that the guy had been running on nitrous. Did he just do a rebuild on it when you bought it? |

O yea i also found the lift ratio for the e303 cam. With stock rockers, its at a .498 but i think that that i have 1.7 rockers in there right now so maybe .535? |
