My buddy has a 99 Ranger 3.0L 5spd that has has a problem lately with overheating. Long story short he was told that it was either a cracked head or cracked block by our local mechanic. They wanted $1,500 to tear the heads off and fix it. He asked my opinion on what he should so, and we decided to rebuild the entire motor our self. We found that it was only a blown head gasket. We are sending the heads and block to be machined. While those parts are off getting re-worked we wondering if there is anything we can do to get a little more power out of it. My buddy was wondering about an aftermarket cam. Any suggestions? It will have the stock heads with stock rockers, springs, and lifters.
