No the plan, currently is stick a very mild cam in it during the rebuild, an
"RV" cam as some call it. I have been saying, I'm not after a powerhouse,
only something with a bit more torque at the wheels than my v6. This really
should not be a big problem, as I have the computer and everything from the
donor '91 The motor still runs and well I might add for the little bit of
blue smoke that comes of the tail pipe.
