Stock LQ4+Torquer V3 cam???
Hi, I am new to the forum and can't seem to find a clear answer to my question in any past threads. I have a 2000 LQ4 short block w/unknown year alluminum 317 factory heads. Can I install the Torquer V3 cam without any valve clearance issues? The cam specs are 231/234 643/598. I am also using the th350 tranny with a 2200 stall converter. I also plan on using the PRC .650 double valve spring kit. Thank you for reading this and I appreciate any answers or advice.

This is absolutely the only correct answer.
That cam isnt a good choice, looks as if it has an LSK intake lobe which will give you issues. There are many newer, better, lobe designs avaliable. It doesnt cost anymore for a custom cam.
I also think the cam is too big for your combination.

You'll also either need alot more than a 2200rpm converter, at least 3200rpm but 3600 would be better. Also big cams and 9.4:1 compression don't exactly go together very good unless you don't mind lousy low end torque.

1.800" (installed height) - 1.080" (coil bind) = .720" (spring opperating range)
.720" - .643" (cam lift) = .077" (overall tolerance)
I guess they would work. Lol. My bad. But damn that is still a lot of lift.
