[QUOTE="merkyworks, post: 15971146, member: 179203"] This reminds me of an old childhood book. If you give a Shelby an oil pump gear then they will want a........... In all seriousness what RBB said is pretty much spot on, such a slippery slope. Why spend all that money upgrading OPG, chains ect and adding cams to a stock motor when it would likely put you at or push you over the "safe" power range. Pretty much it's do a full rebuild or don't mess with it, unless your doing all the labor yourself and your only out the cost of parts. If your just dieing to do cams an argument could be made that swapping cams and going to a 2.5" pulley would be less stress on the motor due to the reduction in cylinder pressure. [/QUOTE]
