New Kid Needing Help With A Ke55

[solid_ballin]

I'm thinking get cam work (need help on that for the 5k engine) and Twin 45 DCOE Weber carburettor conversion package they are $1500 on ebay for the weber package but i reckon it would go well, if anyone has put a decent lumpy cam on a 5k and weber package, would you be able to give me a heads up on how it runs.

 

I have read some cam forums just wanting a bit more info thanks.

can't comment on the webers, but my cammed 5k was about 3 sec quicker per lap than the stock 3k :hmm: This was before it was fitted with factory twin carbs.

It was quicker than an almost identical KE20 that was powered by a BIG cammed (nothing happened to after 3500rpm), high compression 4k over an eigth mile.

 

All I did was remove the standard cam, drop it into the engine machinist and got them to regrind it to what ever specs they recommended based on what it was going to be used for, in my case club based motorsport.
