Cam and torque converter decision help
Hi,
I am new to the forum and I have a 72 Chevelle I built a few years ago. At the time I plugged a Motor Home Mark IV 454 and matching TH400 transmission in it. The motor only had 25k miles on it and the only thing I have done other than cleaning it up is put edelbrock 750 carb/intake, Headers, HEI Ignition on it.
It has the peanut heads with motor home cam and etc on it. Sounds good but not great power so decided to start collecting top end build items but I am out of my league on selecting the right components to work well together.
The one thing I just got is a set of new aluminum large oval port cylinder heads with open style 115cc combustion chambers and 300cc intake runners. So looking for advice on Cam and torque converter. I like a lopey sound but do not want to get so aggressive that I have to build it for higher compression.
Was thinking a RPM range between 1800 to 6500 and keeping the stall converter around 2400 +/- but keep in mind I am a rookie at putting these components together.
Thanks and any advice is appreciated!!
Dave
