Camshaft change, is lube necessary for pleasure? 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Isaac Babcock on  Fri Aug 10 15:19 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Ok, I've got a K cam and am gonna drop it into my 18.001 second '83 245. I've got a question or two. Is assembly lube necessary on a used K cam? Also, from what I've read it seems the base circles are the same with the stock B23F 'M' cam and the 'K'. If this is true, and barring any wear with current cam/shims combo, is shim replacement necessary?

Finally, has anyone done this swap and has any special tips for me? I'd appreciate any help since this is my first swap and I want to make it a good one. Thanks for any help you can give me. This place has been great!
