cam question
Hi,
Can you use a cam from a '69 T in a '70 E motor (assuming that it is ground to the proper specs)? One step further, can this same cam be ground to S specs? Thanks for the input. Tim

Tim,
This isn't something I know a tremendous amount about, but I think it's only a 'maybe'. I was going to have my 70 T cams ground to E specs, and John Dougherty ('camgrinder') said is was only possible if the T cams were in pristine shape. Mine were too worn to take to an E profile. Don't know about S, but perhaps the same applies. Mike

Don't T cams have to be welded in oder to make them into e or s cams, then ground? Then you have the pistons to deal with.
But if you are asking can you take a T cam and put it into an e engine, then yes.

I agree with the welding - how do you add lift and duration to a short skinny lobe without adding metal?
