If I remember right, no.  I tried one in an SD car I had once and it would not idle, move or anything. All it would do is make a bunch of noise.  In the notes on the summit page it says it won't work with SD.

i have found that alot of things summit advertises they mess up the specs on alot of things. the f cam has a 109 lsa according to ford racing so it will not work!

i have heard people running an e cam on speed density and geting away  with it. but i thnk the lsa on the f is too far for for the computer to compensate.

if you get a standalone efi like megasquirt..would that fix that or would you still need a different cam for speed density?

first of all stock springs are junk and not enough for that cam. im half busy right now but to give you a general idea...keep stock lifters and get new springs, whats the lift on a e cam? .499/.510 or something like that?  id like to see your spring pressure up inthe low 300s

You can't trust everything that Summit says. I bought a cam kit that was supposed to be specifically compatible with my car. It was a sn95 5.0. It came with flat tappet lifters. WTF?! Friggin tards!
