Well with my limited experience with the SBC I have refered Lobster to several SBC sites so other folks should know that maybe Lobster is thinking of putting a SBC in his Rover, is that so? Otherwise what is said above is also true that increasing the stroke in whatever engine does help low end torque. Lobster, the thing to do is specifically tell us what engine you are looking at and somehow get Tech1 to reply or even send him an e-mail. He forgot more than most of us know about cams, although some other folks on this Forum also know about how to wring torque/HP out of a V8 whether Ford, SBC or Mopar. Try to tease Tech1 into an answer and consider carefully what he says but you need to spec your engine more completely.
