I ve got my 94 SC 5spd, 130,000 miles, everything stock. Well i was wondering im going to keep this car, (i was selling it), im going to redo the engine, maybe get a short block from Ford for $1,400. and port/polish my existing heads, plus i wanted to know about what to do with the cam (maybe a little grind to get more hp out of it, im not looking to make a monster horsepower engine, just something with bolts ons, port/polish heads, intake,exhaust, C&L 76MM, 75MM TB, the 1.73 roller rockers, and so forth, just nothing done to lower side of the engine. Is there a specific grind on the cam, plus is there a chart or any info. on how to redo the heads the right way. I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks guys.
 
I would go to a machine shop that has a good relationship with a cam grinder. One of the most important things is to match up all the parts. Have the cam ground to optimize whatever head work you have done.
