Fred's 2375 Rebuild Thread Options

[friethmiller]

[A softball question for the Ninja and/or others]

This is the cam card that came with my 2357 engine, which was originally built by Rimco/Fat (long block) a few years ago. Can someone explain why with an intake/exhaust of 448, the lift was only set to 327 degrees? I'm about to rebuild my motor and a lot of focus will be directed at piston "deck clearance" and the valve train geometry that wasn't set correctly. Thanks.

I'd have to see the cam card on it.

I'd lean towards talking to LN engineering regarding the cam.

I'd ask them "cam specs, asymmetric and LSA degrees?" I wonder if they will answer.

Their big cam 9520 will probably be better than what's in there now. They may have other stuff available that they don't list on their website.

Their stuff is on the pricey side, but they should know SHITLOADS more than me...

What is your set up?

Static compression ratio?

Nickies or steel jugs?

Stroke and bore?

The exhaust port and the strength of the cylinder head near the exhaust seat is the Achilles heel of the T4 IMO.

It's the MAIN reliability fault that pushed me away from using the T4.

Fixing it looks like "completely new design head casting" is the best method...

I've decided to "embrace the water" and convert.

I want 300whp as well!

And my shit will be BONE ASS stock!
At least for a Camaro or Boxster...

I have yet to see a wounded LGX; some of my customers have 200K+ miles.
Trannies, AC systems, electronics have trouble.
Not the engines!
All they do it turn hydrocarbons to heat (and beat the dogshit out of the 8 speed autos)!
