If you have glass coverage let them do it. You can use bolts to put the new one in, just use a locking nut and just barly snug them in. Just enough so the window is tight but the bolt isnt, if you know what Im saying. Tighten them to much and you will brake the window. And if they are to tight it co...

Do you think there will be any peoblems with valves hitting the pistons with my setup if I put these on? I wouldnt think...

unless you understand all the sensors and elictical stuff, I would stay away from the EFI. Unless you have the whole donor car go with the carb setup. EFI is alot better, but if you dont understand it. stay away from it. I went with a carb in my 86 and I love it. Very simple. But do yourself a favor...

Its funny you say that, I forgot I have a desk top dyno program. Its been so long since I used it I forgot I had it lol. Will changing to a 1.7 change the idle also, or will that stay the same as it is now??? I just want a cam thats more beefy and has a little more lope in the idle.

cgrey8 once again you are a man of wisdom. Another cam to consider, how does the F-303 sound? would this be a better cam then the E? Or should I just get the 1.7 rockers? Do they make a 1.7 that go onto my heads or do I have to get studs?

I was thinking on the lines of something similer to the F or even X cam. I dont know much at all when it comes to cams durations and stuff. Its all greek to me. I do have GT-40 heads that have a mild port job. I am also running a air gap 4brl intake with Edlerbrock 650, large tube shorty headers and...
