I would like to reiterate the caution regarding Motor Meister.

I just did a little upgrading on my '72T MFI motor, basically a cam swap and Webers. I did a lot of research beforehand and deduced that I could probably put E cams in, given the 2.4T's lower 7.5:1 CR. When I called Motor Meister, Roy recommended Solex cams. I reminded him that I had 2.4T pistons, but both he and Lee assured me they had done this before on 2.4T motors and there would be plenty of clearance. Well, after waiting 6 weeks for the cams, I installed them and checked clearances...less than 0.8 mm, some as low as 0.5 mm (depending whose book you read, you should be looking for at least 1.5 mm). Great. So I have to pull the cams back out and send them back for Es, which had enough clearance when installed. If you've done the cam timing clearance check before, you know how much fun this is.

I won't even get into the frustration of dealing with MM day to day. The moral of the story; do a little reading and you will probably know as much, or more, than Motor Meister.

Good luck!
