OlderThanMe Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Well today I just got a Maxima N47 head with the 39cc-ish chambers and had some questions... Since it has an internally oiled cam what would I have to do to convert it to an externally oiled cam? I have an E88 sitting right there with an externally oiled cam and am wondering if I can just swap everything over to the MN47 and then have the cam towers line-bored straight? This head would give me about a 10.2:1 CR on my L26 with L24 flattops. If I could swap over the slightly larger L26 cam and tower/oiler bar I could get my car running in no time at all. I have 93 octane gas here so that is not a problem... I was running about 9.2:1 with the stock E88 and L24 flattop pistons but want a little more power...This doesn't have to hold together forever...just a year or so to have some fun on the weekends until I can get a turbo motor together. THANKS guys! BTW...this head has 201,000 miles on it!!! The cam is just about dead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted January 3, 2007 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2007 Yes, you can just swap over the cam towers, spray bar, and cam from your earlier head. No mods, no align boring/honing, etc. It is just a simple bolt on swap. Ps. Do make it a point to put the cam towers in the same position as they were removed, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
