gti cam in 1.8carb engine
would a gti cam fit into a 1.8 carb engine? would this make any difference?
i have a clipper with a weber carb conversion on it, i would like to make more of the standard setup.

I have no idea what gains this will have over a clipper's cam.
When I had mine in bits I fitted a secondhand KENT CAMS GS2H fast road cam to my clipper. As this is an upgrade for a GTI/any 8v engine I opted for this. Bought secondhand for about £90.
Not had it on the rollers for setting up as yet, but hope to later in the year. I hope to see a respectable increase, especially with the Dellorto carb ann new exhaust.
If you do change the cam, then it's a good time to put in a new set of followers. If you do buy a "hot cam the a vernier pulley will help get the best out of it.

White 1991 Clipper. Lowered over polished zender rims, Single 40 dellorto on lynx manifold, kent cam, full stainless 'zorst / manifold, powerflex bushed and braced. Not the fastest car, but sounds super nice!
Still going after 12 years… never said it was a quick fix! Time is not my friend.

That's what the "H" in my cam spec means.
