A few tips on selecting the right cam.

You're not a cam guru, and neither am I, so I ask the folks that make or use them. Crane & Comp cams are good at this.

If possible, use a hydraulic roller retrofit setup. I know Crane, and I think now Comp has rollers for FE motors.

Typically, the HP street cam range is 218 - 228 I, 224 - 234 E duration @ .050.

Get yourself a copy of Desktop Dyno 2000 from most any speed shop, Summit, or direct from motionperformance.com. This is the one tool you need to play these numbers games and see where you get results from. Play parts substitutions all day long. $40 - 50. You Windsor stroker guys; substitute Cleveland 4V heads on your 393 or 408 (and particularly your 427) and see what happens. It will bite you!
