2.3 or 2.5 head?

[offroadranger]

So Ive got a 2.5 I've been building slowly. Next thing I wanna do is 19lb injectors and a cam...

People tend to shy away from reccomending a cam for the 2.5 head. I have'nt been able to get a solid answer as to what cam/springs etc to go with for a 2.5 head, yet the 2.3 cams are available in abundance.

If I happened upon a 2.3 head, should I port it, do a cam and pop it on my 2.5 block? Or will that not work?

The '95-'01 cylinder heads are all the same, regardless of what short block they were bolted on top of. Any roller cam will work.
