[Spridgets] Camshaft ID

[Chris King]

Lee,

The pistons will definitely work. You just need to know if they're
standard or overbore size, and if your engine has ever been overbored.
The flat tops will bring you up to about 9:1 compression from the US
spec 7.5:1, which will be a big improvement in power.

The cam may or may not fit, depends if it's for a 1500 or a 1300 with
cam bearings. I don't know anything about the grind. I think most 1500
engines came with the same cam stock, but someone will correct me if I'm
wrong. If the cam is for a 1300, you could always use it if you get your
block bored for the 1300 cam bearings.

Hope this helps.
