Camshaft Selection

[JohnnyT]

I need some advice on camshaft selection to give my 86 420 SL more kick. The motor is in my shop being rebuilt as we speak. Has anyone put a set of 5.6 L sticks and followers in a 4.2 L engine? Thanks.

Let us know more about the combustion chamber and piston top configuration, specifically the volume of the chamber and the volume of the piston recess. Post some pics if you can.

Will sometime tomorrow when I get to the shop. I also thought there would be some published specs for both sticks. Remember this is a Euro 4.2L. Thanks for the reply. jt.
