Question on 87 5.0 T-Bird Sport April 09, 2008, 09:33:19 PM Question: Can I take a roller cam from a 87-88 Mustang GT and put into my 87 5.0 T-Brid sport? Do I just have to change the firing order of plugs and injectors? or are there other changes required. I want to stay speed density. Quote Selected

Question on 87 5.0 T-Bird Sport Reply #2 – April 10, 2008, 08:40:34 AM While the cam is the "heart" of a HO, there are several other changes the need to be made... First before the cam swap, would be a set of headers and true dual exhaust system(this will add prob 15hp to the SO) ... At that point a HO throttle body, upper intake, computer and injectors should be installed with the cam... AFIC the HO heads are optional, but would add approx 20 additional hp... Only wiring change for speed densety would be swap firing order of the plug wires, no injector rewiring required... Quote Selected

I didn't really want to swap CPU's. has anyone used the stock 87 T-Bird CPU with the upgraded cam?I have the shorty headers and h-pipe cat. I just wasn't sure of all the differences between the HO and T-Bird sport motor. Quote Selected
