Hello,

There are a lot of options, but to simplify matters you essentially have a 2.7RS short block and currently the T camshaft and presumably 2.4 liter 32/32 heads. If it were me, and your piston and cylinders are still in spec, I would install ARP rod bolts, get some S cams and open your cylinder head ports to 36/36 and essentially have a 2.7RS engine. If you want higher compression you can order custom pistons in any compression ratio, but keep it below the 10.0:1 CR unless you want to twin plug. Like you mentioned before, you can either have your current distributor recurved or go with an electronic 123Distributor and have full control when tuning. What are you using for fuel delivery? If you have the MFI system it will need to be setup for the new cam. If you have carbs they will need to be adjusted too. You mentioned you like the E cam, which I would imagine could also be used and just keep your ports at their stock 32/32. I would say it really comes down to choosing your camshaft!

Whatever you decide I would suggest you use ARP rod bolts and make sure you have the oil bypass modification and case savers done so you don’t pull any head studs from that magnesium case.

Good luck and Happy Holidays!
