I'm getting ready to pull my 5.0 from my 2000 Ex to put it into my 2001 Sport Trac... I'm trying to decide what I should do to it while the motor is out, keeping in mind a budget of around $500. I've already got the following to be installed:
TM Headers
MAC intake
1" intake spacer
new plugs and Taylor wires
new 02 sensors
exhaust
electric fan w/ DC controller
I'm thinking possibly either roller rockers or a cam, maybe both depending on price.. I'm looking for good, solid power through the lower and mid range. I do a bit of towing, but nothing major, just want real usable power. What woud you guys recommend? Which cam and rockers (1.6 or 1.7), and what should I expect to spend adding in any extras to complete the jobs on top of the main parts.
