Fred's 2375 Rebuild Thread Options

[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.

Looked at that cam. That wouldn't be my first choice.

I'd dither between 68362 86B/86C and 68444. 163/86B

Compression ratio would be a factor.

I'd need to check out the head, intake and exhaust.

I'd be hunting 180hp+ and well over 200bs/ft.

That engine would benefit from an intake I wanted to build...

As I've pretty well decided to not travel the T4 route that will not happen.

Modern EV14 Injectors pointed at valves in a short IDF base manifold, with proper taper, and modular. You could run IDF style throttle bodies OR add individual runners to a central plenum feed by a single electronic throttle body. Everything with proper taper and bell mouthed in the plenum...
With sequential 1000 cc injectors the long design should improve low end torque to approx. 4500rpm by 10% or better...

This will not add overall HP; it will add torque and improve responsiveness of the car.

That would use the area you have the compressor in now.
I believe I have a side mount baby Sanden solution.
