Im not !00% sure but im pretty sure that the T3 camshafts are smaller then the one you have got on it now. I always thought that the 200kw camshaft was the biggest Ford introduced for the Windsor V8's.

If your going to the trouble of removing the cashaft you may aswell fit a decent OTS item. If you want to keep it fairly mild try a Crane 2020.

peter!

you need to stop making 10 threads about this and do some reading! look in the performance forums it has all been covered before and I can think of at least 3 AU's that have had cams fitted (mine included).

T3 camshaft is too small for your engine as it is designed for a stroker engine.

Crow 621371 camshaft
Crow 7738 springs
Crow 11700XR8 retainers
Crow 11701 collets
Crow CS8302EFI timing chain set

For gaskets a Felpro or Durapro valve regrind set and timing cover set would be the best way to cover what you need.
