So I have a 2.2 T and 2.4 T engine. I can't come up with the cash for new S spec P&Cs right now. The short term plan was to use the 2.2 case (2.4 case needs more work) and the 2.4 crank, rods, P&Cs and whichever heads looked the best. Am I stuck with the T cams or can I get some more power with different cams?

IME, and I confirmed this with Walt Watson at Competition Engineering, you're gonna have problems using E or Solex cams with T pistons. You don't have enough compression to take advantage of the grind. You may also have issues with piston to valve clearance. I have a nice set of near-new Engle E camshafts that came out of a recently rebuilt 2.2T that NEVER ran right after they were installed. They're for sale, BTW.

The Cap'n (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Best advice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Personally I'd take the Cap'n up on the E cams and find the proper pistons. I'm assuming that you will be running carbs, correct? |
