Cam Gear

Better question is why would you want to? You would never be able to time them correctly again.
 
That was part of the question too. The reason is because the engine I am working with now just has 13,000 miles on it and I am going to install my SVT cams into my 3L that I'm installing. I was going to just swap the gears and not have to buy a $300 timing set. Guess I'll just spend a little money. That's what I work for I guess. Thanks
 
how many miles on the current timing set? Most people just reuse the timing set. Some however use the 3L guides and tensioners since the chain/gears need to match.
 
Absolute do not do swap cam gears to save 300$ Keep the other cams before you do that.
 
Not swapping the gears. Just ordered a new timing set for the 2.5 to go into the 3L. Hopefully I will have it up and running by the weekend. The timing set won't be in until Wednesday.
