Ok so later on this year, I'm planning to tear down and put back together my 5.0 with only 156,000 miles. Reason to do so is for several reasons, learning experience, replace valve seals that are slowly starting to go bad, and to add a cam into it as well. The engine as of now runs great so hopefully I'll be able to re-use alot of parts. At this point I want to stay with 302 ci displacement. I don't have the budget nor is neccessary to build a stroker engine since I also own a Mustang as well that could rather benefit from that money. But I do want to know what I can do outside of new gaskets, rings, oil pump and bearings I can do to rejuvenate it. A cam is a top priority for this project, preferrably a custom cam. Redo everything on the top end like springs, rollers, push rods, ignition, etc.Can anyone help point me in the direction of rebuild kits on here, Where I can locate someone that can build a cam and give me an idea of how much a simple rebuild plus cams, and valve train must cost?
