The shim head gasket on my 200(72 comet) was seeping a little, so I decided to go with an E0 head(hardened seats, bigger intake valves) and I will use a felpro composite gasket. While I have the head off seams like the perfect opportunity to swap out the cam also. I would assume the camshaft can be removed with the engine in the car, but what will I have to remove othe than radiator? Grille, bumper, valance panel? I know I should have a shop manual . Has any one here had good luck with a specific cam for a six. I will shave the head for difference in gasket thickness plus some(?), aiming for around 9:1, up from 8.3:1. I am running a C-4 and 3.55 gear. I don't want to lose any driveability. I was looking at the 260 comp cams, 260 adv, 212 at .050, .440 lift. This is probably an old grind, but if it still works as well as anything else out there. The car has 53,000 miles on it, and the cylinders had about 150 in each hole, one was 145, no ridge in cylinders and lots of crosshatch left. Thanks, Peyton in SE Ohio.
hey, I bought a cam from advance...it was 90 something dollars and had .448 lift or something like that. It was decent lift
