    It will have a rough in a 396.
    But in a 632 you won't feel it.

    What are the rest of the engine parts? What transmission? Lots of variables when selecting the correct cam...

    I would run a 2,500 to 2,800 stall.
    I think you would be better off with a 3.73 gear.

    Should work fine on the street. You might want to consider adding a tranny fluid cooler for a bit of added insurance. The higher the stall speed, the more heat it generates....
