93CutlassSupreme Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 i wouldn't put a camshaft in a w-body unless you broke it, because you have to pull the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carotop Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Thats what I thought. I guess I just wanna know if there are any performance ones out there. I could end up doin it this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Thats what I thought. I guess I just wanna know if there are any performance ones out there. I could end up doin it this summer. performance cams are out there, but i don't think the performance gains would be worth the work pulling the engine, unless you pulled it out for other reasons and put the cam in while it was out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carotop Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Maybe I'll say I'm pullin it to put a new cam in and then bam L67 pwnage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Maybe I'll say I'm pullin it to put a new cam in and then bam L67 pwnage honestly, i'd be surprised if you did a L67 swap. i'd be surprised if you pulled the engine. by yourself.

Carotop Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Well I might do it I might not ya never know. It all depends on the money flow. Do you know where I could find cams and valves and springs and just plain valvetrain stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carotop Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 well I know how to find them and I've checked a couple of places but they don't have specific stuff they just have universal crap and whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 look online GM Performance Parts Comp Cams Crane Cams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman429 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 There are several companies that make cams for the 3.1 Comp Cams makes 2 or 3 Crane makes 2 Crower makes 3 Edelbrock makes 1 Lunati makes 2 GM Performance parts sells 2, but they are the Crane Cams. If you have a 3100 this may be iffy, because when I was looking for a cam, I looked for ones that would fit a 3.1/2.8 60 degree V6, these cams are pretty common. I'm not sure if the valvetrain changed between the 3.1 -3100, it might use different lifters, or they might all be hydraulic. As for Lifters, Valve springs, and valves, check http://www.mantapart.com they are a little pricey, but make a crap load of GM performance parts that other companies won't touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudefyet Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 the 3400 and 2000+ 3100's use roller rockers....best bet for that would be to get a set of heads and the intake off a 3400 and put on your car (they also have larger exhaust ports, gives a little more power) also you can use LS1 valve springs on it, but you have do a little drilling some of the guys over at 60v6 may be able to get you lighter valves and pushrods for your 3.1 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Maybe I'll say I'm pullin it to put a new cam in and then bam L67 pwnage honestly, i'd be surprised if you did a L67 swap. i'd be surprised if you pulled the engine. by yourself. give the guy a break Kevin. is he just supposed to know all this stuff without asking questions? that's what this forum is for after all. and you CAN replace the cam without removing the engine....did you see dbtk's pics? pulling an engine from a W-body is SOOOO freakin' easy. it sounds way harder than it really is. it's intimidating, sure. but most people would be surprised how easy it is if they actually did it. have you ever pulled the engine from your Cutlass Kevin? yeah that's what i thought if you aren't going to help him out just keep out of the thread.

Carotop Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hey I don't know where to find everything because alot of things become dead ends and I know theres at least a couple that know of good products that are out there and thats why I asked where to find some parts because I don't know myself what works and what doesn't. Also I think with enough instruction, tips and the right tools I could pull my engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95 3-4 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 How do you pull a cam in a w body without removing engine? I'm guessing a 3" holesaw to the inner fender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95 3-4 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Not a bad tacti, I rather do that then grind off that huge boss to get the oil pump drive out of a 3.4, course I would never grind that off I would do it right, and look at the wear in the jugs. My 95 Cougar jugs showed no wear and still had cross hatch in them when I opened it up at 112k, nother junk V6 headgasket eater..........That car ran good and to think i traded it away for a thrashy 95 Gtp Which I promptly sold to my brother to get another real rwd car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
