K-c And 3k-c Pieces And Swapping

[GBKE15]

I think that I have read all of the FAQ's and googled more than I normally do at the bar on Friday night and I'm just checking for clarification on a few things.

 

I swapped in a 3k-c into my ke15. I want to port and polish the intake and try to do something with the cam. Can I swap the cam and head from the k-c to the 3k-c? Just trying to see if I can work on the k-c head myself and get it finished/checked by a machine shop while still having a running motor in the car. Also, I have tried to find a cam through all of the parts sources here in the US and cannot find a cam available like the Tighe 112 (i think that was the right #) and I keep seeing something about resurfacing an existing cam. Will the k-c cam give me any benefit or can I get it redone to benefit me at all?

 

Thanks, for all your help.

 

 

By the way, for those of you familiar with my past posts, here's the update on my ke... Car is running fairly strong, I have never driven one in the past so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it'll do for now. I would love to kick it up to 150hp but I know that will involve a different motor setup. I put the supertrapp exhaust on with a 1.75 in straight pipe and it sounds wicked, might need to tone it down a bit. Clutch and lightend flywheel feel strong. The disc brakes a down the road a way, not sure if I really need it at the moment. Body work is starting to come together and it's getting a personality all it's own. Interior will be comign out soon, racing starts in March here in Virginia. Thanks again for all of your help.

 

 

Glenn, again.

the head and cam are interchangable.

 

the k-c cam and 3k-c item will be the same. any decent cam grinding shop should be able to regrind the cam to suit your specs.

Thanks Felix.

 

If I wanted to change the profile of the cam to provide more torque where would I start with the specs for the regrind? Would the specs for the tighe 112 be similiar to what I could get them to do to the factory cam?

 

Thanks again for the help.

i think a tighe 112 grind would be nicely suited.

 

yes a cam shop can regrind your existing cam to those specs.
