Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 ok folks, was wondering about the power difference i might notice/not notice, if i swapped my cam for one of the ones from Crane...probably the first one they have, something like .460" of lift, don't remember the duration...could someone help me out here? Gonna rebuild head while I'm at it, too....anyone know stock cam specs for a 76 280Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzdat Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 The stock cam has a lift of ~.275 I think-that .460 cam you're thinking of is the same grind I used in my 76, but I also had an E31 head and triple webers, header, etc--that tall cam may not work well if you still have the EFI setup on it-it will make the engine more aggressive, and you will probably end up with your idle set around 1200 RPM just so it'll stay running. IMHO, unless you are going to also make changes to the induction and exhaust, I would stay with a much milder cam; if you decide to go with the taller cam, do a search for a place called Delta Camshafts in Tacoma, WA-that's where I got my cam-it was around $40 for a reground-never had a problem with it in 5 years Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
