2.4 CIS cam options?
I'm rebuilding the top end of my 1973.5 CIS to fix #1 compression issue and oil leaks around the rocker shafts. I'm going to reuse the original P&C and retain the CIS induction system for now.
Looking at Wayne's book, some of the 3.0 SC engines can benefit from a 964cam. So I'm wondering if the 2.4 CIS can benefit from a later 2.7 CIS cam like the 74-77 S/Carrera 911.105.143 & 144. Has anyone tried this? My main concern is that the original 8:1 compression would be further reduced by later intake closure. This car is strictly for street use, so I don't want to lose torque in low rpm range... but sure would be nice to have it push above 5500 rpm! Last edited by 4wdbus; 02-13-2012 at 09:05 PM.. |

Hello Bus,
I am also rebuilding a 73.5 cis motor and was somewhat puzzled when I discovered that the cams in the engine were the 143 and 144 2.7s cams. The car is new to me and I am not sure of the why's or how's of the cams, but I would assume that since they are the closest to the stock cams they work. The car ran before I tore it apart,(low compression and leak down #'s on #1 and #4). Good luck with your project and look forward to reading what others here have to say on the topic. Gib |

The cams can be upgraded to CIS S cams and set to S spec. Any other cams wont work for your application.

Thank you for the guidance
 I found a good set of 77 towers complete with S cams and rockers, so I am probably going to give this a try. Should I expect any torque reduction at low rpm or is this effect negligible? -Van |

Flat6,
Does that mean that when setting the cam timing, one would just use the spec for the 2.7 cam as if it were going into its original engine? I was wondering on my own build what the gauge numbers were for cam timing, but have not gotten that far with it yet. Gib |

Yes, the cam setting spec follows the camshaft.
