Can you guys give me info on any cam you might have to suit the EL hybrid motor? I have a march 98 build EL fairmont and want an aftermarket cam. Can you help?

how much for a 1636cam including postage to brisbane

We should be able to help you there. We need to know as much as possible about the engine mods you have, or are planning....Manual or auto.....and what you want to achieve. In other words, is it just a daily drive or, a daily drive combined with legal drags....that sort of thing.

Cheers

I'm assuming you're talking about a regrind.

To do a regrind cam, the cost is $122.00. Registered Post to Brisbane would be approx. $20.00. If we supply an exchange cam, there is a deposit of $110.00 added to the cost. This deposit is refunded to you when you return a suitable replacment cam to us.

Also note, as with all our reground cams, you will need to fit an extra set of 1.9mm standard shims. You can purchase these from your local Ford dealer for about $60.00.

when there is news back on how the 1636>977b cam is going, post them up please, as im after a cam for my new motor and this sounds good just want to see where power band is, 1/4 improvment times

cheers

Are you still producing the 1521A as a billet ? also do you sell upgraded valve springs ?

what if i supplied one down there first as i got a spare standard cam sittin in the garage so i got all the shims needed as i have the spare motor

what cams do you do for turbo setups? on a EL i6? and prices

Yes, we still supply the 1521A cam as a billet.

Yes, we can supply "performance" valve springs.

Yes, that's fine. It's up to you if you want to send your own cam for grinding.

Please advise.....manual or auto? How much boost are you going to run?

auto,12psi

With the auto, and presumably a std converter, you'd be limited to the 1636 profile. There's no point putting a cam in that's suited to the turbo but that's too much for the transmission.

If you're running a high stall, you could consider a single pattern cam such as the 977B (open up the lobe centre to 115).

Either profile on your cam is $122.00. Exchange, add $110.00 deposit.
Freight, extra, if applicable.

I will be purchasing a camshaft from you guys shortly
Could you advise on availability and price on a good set of valve springs
and which camshaft will be best suited

I6 Tickford engine T04 3.9 ACL pistons balanced mild port work custom
plenum up to around 16 psi 5 speed with 3.27 diff

Hi Chris, I'll be calling you tomorrow about the 1636 to order this week for my EA, it's blown a head gasket, and we're putting in a new cam at the same time.

Other thing is a suggestion, if you could maybe add a thread to this area with all the Ford 6cyl + 8cyl cam profile names + specs + rpm ranges (approx) with a comments field, eg: "good idle, suit std ECU" or "needs extractors and exhaust" or "requires porting + ECU modifications" etc..

I just can't get to see this info on the site? is it in development, or that area down?

^^^ Found it, "popular profiles" good stuff

never ran the 1636, but locknut i would suggest looking at the 1636977b, its working magic in my EA atm. Going on the dyno on saturday, you should come for a run up with us to katoomba and get ya beast measured, i think data_mine is still coming from ACT??

Cheers Mav, I did enquire about that cam, but in al honesty Chris suggested the slightly less aggressive 1636 as a more sensible option due to the k's on my car.

This will be my first cam in any car, so it's exciting none-the-less

Because the 1636 is a more low-mid range cam, I'm also thinking the 4499's would suit it rather than the 4480's...

G'day , Ive got a 98 EL Fairmont, and have been thinking about getting a cam for it.
Its a hybrid motor, with an auto, extractors, exhaust, etc, and is a daily driver.
Have you got anything to suit?

Cheers, Pete.
