[QUOTE="7Lemons, post: 16574222, member: 184681"] So I'm proceeding to the cams and timing components and have run into some confusion and I was wondering if anyone has some insight on camshaft part numbers? I purchased the heads and cams used from a guy in CA who had them installed by Shaun @ AED, so I know they're the right cams and all. The L&M intake cams are clearly marked LI and RI, unmistakably. But the other 2 cams (exhaust camshafts) have the Ford part numbers but aren't labeled at all Left or Right? Also, I tried looking up the part numbers that are etched on the shafts and they don't come up no matter where I look. The numbers on them are FR3E-6A272-FA and FR3E-6A273-FA Anyone have any ideas how to figure them out? lol My 2nd point of confusion is the orientation of the camshafts when installing them relative to the crank position. I have the 2013 and the 2015 Mustang assembly manuals from Ford. The 2013 calls for the crank being at 9 o'clock and then 12 o'clock, and shows how the cams should be installed with the "D" slot and all. The 2015 manual calls for 5 o'clock and 12 o'clock for the crank and a different cam D slot orientation. So, the question is, since I have gen 2 block and heads, but with gen 1 timing components, gen 1 L&M intake only cams, and gen 2 exhaust cams... which manual should I follow for the crank and cam orientation (relative to one another)... the 2013 or the 2015? Or does it matter? I might have to call Shaun @ AED for some help, but does anyone have some insight? [/QUOTE]
