89 f-150 cam question

Did 89 f-150s with 302s have roller cams in them?

Thanks

no, but they did have roller blocks. so if you get all the corresponding parts of a roller valvetrain (cam, lifters, dogbones, spider, dist gear, etc...) you can run a roller cam without needing any machining done to the block.

Thanks, I thought that was what the answer was going to be

I'm probably going to be rebuilding my uncles engine due to a blown head gasket so I'm trying to get ideas of what to do with it.

Do y'all have any suggestions on a cam recomendations??? He won't be towing with it or racing it ....He's just looking for something with a little bit of kick to it if you know what I mean.

I've heard of a lot of people putting stock 5.0 cams in thier lightnings and having good results.....would this be a good idea for this application?

He still needs to be able to pass a smog test so keep that in mind.

Also I have a 94 Lightning and I know that it is speed density so I'm assuming that the 89 is also....is this correct?

Thanks,
Jason Welch

if you want good cheap cam, find a stock roller cam out of a 5.0 mustang, trucks dont seem to lose any low-end torque with them and gain plenty of power at higher rpm's. plus, the roller valvetrain will make your engine run a lot smoother and you should have no problem passing emissions. by the way, yes it should be speed density.
