I agree w/ Chuck. Go with the "S" cams. You are increasing displacement and compression with these changes and I don't think you will really retain the characteristics of the "E" cams in your 2.4 that you like so much if you use them in the 2.7. The power curve will not be the same. The "S" cams will work great with that setup, and will NOT be as peaky as they are in the smaller motors. You will have great low-end torque, still, especially if you stay with a stock exhaust or SSIs and resist the temptation to put big headers on it.:)
