Re: "Pinché Caliché" '57 StepSide/LSx/CrownVic

That cam seems like a good deal if you don't have to pay for it. Cam selection should always be based on what you want to do with your vehicle, so if it is the RIGHT cam for your truck?? That depends on how you plan to drive it.

As far as removing the electronics from the trans...I don't really know if you can do that to a 4L60E. I would highly recommend that you don't if it is even possible. I feel that the only thing keeping those slush-boxes together is the electronics. It would basically become a 700-r4 without electronics, and those things implode with even the slightest mis-adjustment of the TV cable. That leads to rebuilding a trans, which leads one to wonder why they didn't just put a manual trans in it from the start.
Bottom line...get a 5 or 6-speed and enjoy the truck from the get-go.
