aftermarket camshaft conundrum

clypsogreen93 · 10-19-2008

does anybody know of a roller cam that i can find for a 93 2.3?

b_chandler · 10-20-2008

Crane makes one similar to the Ford Motorsport A234 cam

You can also call Engle Cams.

Of course there's always Esslinger and Racer Walsh

yeah but most of those are flat tappet... not roller, and esslinger and racer walsh are expensive

im thinkin about ford motorsports a 237

The Crane is a roller

clypsogreen93 · 11-01-2008

the crane is not much better than stock... i think im gonna go with ford motorsports a 237 cam

it makes decent mid to hi rpm powwer, and still retains a decent idle

The biggest problem with the A-237 on the street is it's lack of grunt down low. That's where the problem lies on the 2.3. Sure it'll make some power once you get it spun up, but take a look at your cruising RPM and then compare it against the cam specs. If it fits, rock on, if not, it just proves that bigger isn't always better.

I have a stock 93 ranger roller cam in my II.

its a car for the street and track, so i thought a cam with a power band around 2000- 6000 would be the ticket, and i could always retard it if i needed more low end??

isnt that true?

Go Boport. And you will not find a cam cheap, so you will have to shell out some cash for a performance cam.

ditto What NavySVO said. I didn't think about Bo. The guy is doing great things with 2.3 heads and cam profiles.

COMP cams.. they would have something.. are you looking for the rollers too?
