cam question

[nismo18]

just wondering if i can put my cams from a 97 gst to a 95gst motor or not. i realize that i have a cam sensor car. i had to order a motor for my car cause the motor bent all the valves and bought a replacement motor. i ordered a 95 and come to find out it was an automatic motor. thanks

Why can't you use the whole engine. It doesn't matter whether it came from an auto or manual

I think the cam angle sensor might be different but I'm not 100% sure, they're both 7 bolt motors though so I don't see why they wouldn't work.

ya just wasnt certain or not if they would the cam sensor is already bolted to the old cam. ya its a 7 bolt. i just noticed that the auto has a different design on the cam gear thats all. didnt know if there was a difference

95-96 use a cam sensor on a plate on the cam gear. 97-99 use a sensor on the passenger side of the intake cam. They are however switchable.

so basically i can use either cam and gears correct?
