[QUOTE="AnaheimE, post: 8831940, member: 66086"] Cam. It a pushrod. :-p I've got suspension sorted. New rear lowers, Koni S/As all around, bushings, new brakes, Steeda rear springs, MM C/O with 325lb springs, new updated Cobra A-arms, X3 balljoints, endlike/tie rods, etc. It' about what you can get without going Full C/O or new K-members, etc. I've got a buddy who is willing to give me his old heads he started to port and we're looking into running 99+ Windstar intakes. I'm going to rebuild the head with new springs, etc. and a new cam. I should be able to do this for like 400-500 said and done. Then the problem is cooling and the stock internals, though I'm wondering if I should put in a new water pump when I do the head swap. Apparently 5500rpm is fine for a stock 3.8. As for the 4.2, I'd like to, but at that point I'd just do a full blown 4.3 stroker and have at it. I would love to buy another car/save for another, but this one runs fine and I still get 30mpg highway. I don't have enough money for something I feel is worth selling the car for. I've though of getting a BAB 98 GT and doing a PI swap etc. but I'm still going to spend like 5K at least on the car, then the parts, and who knows how the car's been treated. I know how this thing has been, owned it since 2000 or so. Right now there's a guy selling Coated Turbo headers. Just the headers. 700. They're nice, but wayyyy to much for me. Like I said, I can probably do a head swap with a cam for that much. [/QUOTE]
