I used Crow for mine, there are a few big names for cams in Aussie. Tighe, Crow, Crane, Wade, Waggott.

 

If you get lift over 0.4" you will need to change the valve springs, under that the stock ones are OK.

 

Send the followers away as well & get them ground so the new cam has new followers to wear to.

 

What else are you going to do?? The cam by itself won't do much.

Rubbish. 12 months of regular driving and .48 lift before I broke a valve spring.

Usual stuff... cam, carb & exhaust... head skim helps, electronic dizzy is good but not necessary. Here's what I did-

Philbey that's pretty interesting. I thought the springs started coil-binding above 0.4" in which case they would bend something quite soon. I suppose there is quite a safety margin in the cam grinder's figures.

Or.....

 

get a 5K.

 

A much better base to start with.

:y: Or even save your coin up, and go all out on a K engine, or maybe look at a cheap conversion. As said above, just a cam won't do much on a stock donk, depending on the specs i guess. Do a quick google search on cam lift and duration info, there is heaps of helpfull shit on the internet, and it will help you understand how it all works.

If you changing your cam I recommend getting extractors to feel the affects of your new cam,

 

But you should know a Worked 4k will just keep up with a bog standard 5k.

Look around for a 5k should pick up 1 for $100-$400 they came out of Toyota liteaces and Hiace (Plenty off wrecked 1's around )

And should be legal in your state and is pretty much a bolt in...
