Hello!

I've read through a few posts and see some good knowledge here. Thought I'd sign up to see what advice I can get.

I'm restoring my 1968 Camaro. It will be driven - not a trailer queen.

I'm not looking to build the fastest street car in America. I just want a stout motor that will "get the job done". I plan on running a 2000-2300 RPM stall in a Turbo 400. I want a motor that comes to life around 2K RPMs and goes up to 6K RPMs. I don't really want to push it much higher than 6K RPMs.

Lower end of motor is complete. 4 bolt main, forged rods and pistons. 10.1 compression. Very nice balance job.

Heads will be AFR Magnum heads. 265CC runners. Oval port.

Intake will be one of the following (still figuring this one out).
Edelbrock RPM
Edelbrock RPM air gap
Weiand Stealth

Sorting out ignition. For now, let's just say HEI style with a super coil.

Carb: I have a Holley 750 that was modded years ago to allow all 4 barrels to open simultaneously. I had this carb on a pretty wild small block. It was a very touchy carb and I loved it. Debating if I need to go with a larger carb or jet this one way up for the big block.

Rear end: 12 bolt posi with either 3.55 or 3.73 gears. Also, still sorting this one out.

I've already read several posts in here about big blocks being nasty to cams and that a roller is recommended. I had already decided roller was what I wanted, info here has cemented that plan. I just don't know which cam to go with.

So... recommendations on a cam that's going to make for an engine with great low end and mid range oomph for a stoplight to stoplight killer?

And yes, I do plan on taking it down a 1/4 mile to see what ET I can get. Low 12s would blow me away!

Thanks,
Jason
