camshaft

[greg1.4]

will my 1.2 camshaft and followers fit in a 1300 head on a 1400 block?

is the 1.2 cam and 1.3 cam the same?

thanks,
Greg

yes it will but the best cam to use is the c14nv cam from the 1400 sr's:thumb:

Yeh, best set up you can use with that combo is 1200 carb'd head, 1400block, 1400 SR camshaft, 1400SR carb on 1200 manifold

[greg1.4]

right so is the 1.2 and 1.3 cam DEFINETLY the same?

i will be running a 1400 block, 1300 head, 1200/1300 cam and twin 40's..

i want a highlift cam for it but nobody seems to have any for sale at the moment cheap??

[Paul]

the 1.4 SR is the best cam you can use as standard if you have it, otherwise theres feck all difference between 1200/1300..

[craig green]

No. 1.2 cam has least lift of all the 8v cams.

[greg1.4]

so would a 1400 block, 1300 head, 1400 cam and twin 40's be a good combo?

cheers,
Greg

1400 block, 1200 haed, 1300 inlet and carb!

[craig green]

The compression ratio will be rather high with the 1.2 head I think. Definately will need to run it on Super unleaded at all times.....

Well it will work yeah. Gains from 40s wont be much with a std cam fitted.
1200 cam is different profile, but fitment is the same.

[greg1.4]

what about a 1600 camshaft? will this fit? will it go with the 1300 head? will it suit the valves?

[greg1.4]

help?

i have been offered a 1600 camshaft..

[Stuart]

the 1600 cam should have the Dizzy Drive you need, BUT might not have the fuel pump lode so you would need an aftermarket fuel pumps (like a facet + regulator)

[Adam]

What dizzy are you using?

[greg1.4]

i am running a 1300 SR coil, dizzy and head at the moment but need a new cam and followers as mines is scored/worn..

will a 1400 SR cam fit a 1300 SR head and run with the 1300 SR dizzy and coil?

Greg

[Adam]

A 1.4 or 1.6 cam wont fit a 1.3 dizzy.

I tried to run a GTE (E16SE) cam on mine 1.4 spi but it idled at 4K rpm. I`m not sure if the cam was the problem though.
