the price sounds good, but you need to make sure the cam carries the h.o firing order or the sefi won't function properly

can u conver it? whats that cam worth if i sold it

mjr46

yes with expensive roller lifters or reduced base circle cam and as for worth of current cam ?? who knows ?? depends on what it is

riggsracin

so i should just sale that cam and get a hyd cam. what about the block?

mjr46

if you have a flat tappet cam block and such in it right now like I said you need expensive conversion lifters to use a hydraulic roller in a non roller block, or buy a reduced base circle roller cam and perform the mods necessary to install the lifter retainer

sounds expensive. my friend said u could just do a diffent firing order.

mjr46

in what way do a different firing order? cam determines firing order......you can't use 2 different firing orders with the same cam

mjr46

like I SAID: with that above you'd need to purchase a reduced base circle cam and stock roller lifters.....if you use a stock roller cam in a non roller block............the lifters will oil the lifter valley and you will have no oil pressure...........for cam information if you doubt me there are only two methods to make a non roller block be equipped with a roller cam .... 1 method is what I just stated, the more reliable method is to purchase the 400 dollar conversion link bar roller lifters and use a regular roller cam......this guy can set you up with the proper cam.....www.flowtechinduction.com
