Wanna get a lopey cam

Ranger4banger97 · Sep 21, 2007

Yea like the topic states, i wanna get a lopey cam for my 1997 2.3 with a little bit of lift and rough idle, just somethin to sound cool and put some power in it, i dont wanna pay an arm and leg, so if anyone has a used good condition one, that'd be cool, just shoot me a reply or something, or if not, shoot me some suggestions, Thanks guys - Nick

Do you have a manual or automatic tranny? Putting a cam in like you have discribed will make your truck a pain to drive on the street.

"Lopey" cams are generally "lopey" because they increase the overlap, that kills bottom end and the 4 cyl. motors don't have much of that to begin with.

Racer Walsh has a nice intermediate roller for the street for $400.You would have to call them to see if it would work with the 97,,seeing as the 95+ had a smaller valve dia.

alright, i'll look, but i'll hold off for a little while, just incase some one puts one up for sale or something

It will work, you just have to use the correct followers. I've swapped the cams back and forth between '89-'01 motors without a problem.
