a EL XR6 cam will slot straight into your 3.9 motor fine. Slight improvement but dont expect the earth from it.

For info on how to install the cam visit the club website (http://www.deleted link/) and go into the tutorials. you will see a document on how to swap your cam over written by our own John_xr6

slight differences between EA and ED cams, but personally i don't beleive its worth upgrading to a later model cam.
spend the money and get something from wade cams, they're cheap enough.

Just make sure with the EL cam its an early EL, not late.
The late ones had a different lobe spacing, and the rocker gear will need modification.
