Vin J cam in a Vin M 3100

[LT1/TA]

Hi, I was wanting to know if you could put a 3100 J cam in a 3100 M engine car without any computer tuning or other modifications.

I have a 98 cutlass 3100 with a broken cam and I was just curious.
Thanks Steve

Its the same cam, so yes.

229-2412= .412" lift, 197 duration 96-99 Vin M
229-2326=.408" lift, 197 duration 2000-2002 Vin J & 3400

The only difference I could find was the lift.

Where did you get those numbers from, for the lift? All numbers I have ever seen were an exact match. (I guess those are aftermarket replacements, judging by the numbers)

Probably from different sources? Thats the only way Ive found different specs on the same cam.

I found those specs on ThirdGen.org. The Third Generation F-Body Site and the the link is below.Yes these are Aftermarket Cams,Clevite part numbers.

Thanks for all the responses,you Guys are really on the ball.

Any 3100, 3400, or LX9 3500 can have the cams swapped between them.

This goes for the small port 3100's up through the large port 3100s. The cam sensor notches changed in patterns over the years, but all will work with any year sensor too.
