Anyone Know If 205 1.9 8v Camshafts Fit The 306 Xsi 2.0 8v ?

As above really, do cams from a 205 1.9 8v fit the 306 2.0 8v ?

yes the 205/309 8v cams will fit in the 306 2lt 8v engines.

Straight swap, drop straight in ?

 

Only reason I ask is that I am replacing the engine in my 306 XSI with a donor engine which I have sitting in the garage, but before it goes in I was thinking of sticking in a different cam (ie cat/kent/piper) to replace the current standard one, and it seems to be that the 205 cams come up more often than 306 ones

Fits straight in with no modification at all - I'm running a 2.0 XSi head on my 1.9 bottom end, and that's with a cam designed for a 1.9 engine.

Excellent, thanks for that info Ant, gives me more chances of finding a cam to go in my XSI engine before it gets put back into my 306.

Actually, would you know if it runs ok when using the 1.9 cam on the xsi standard injection system

I'd imagine that it should run OK
