I agree with Thumper, for the best answer we need more information. Do you have any goals for the car? HP or ET wise? What is the rest of the combination?

there are some variables here but the big one is; do you want to drive the car a bunch? i've got a 440 in my 65 coronet, good heads, 6-pak, torqueflite, 3.23 rear, 9.3:1 compression. it has an engle k65 solid; 238@.050-.510 lift. it's all the cam i want. it's got a little rumble, would probably have a little more "pop" with 10 or 10.5 compression. doesn't need much converter. low maintenance, easy break-in, and makes enough power for my old butt.

The Mopar .528 solid works really well in that size of engine. It has a fairly smooth idle but it will pull hard up past 6000 rpm.
That's The Cam I Was Planning On Using. Thanks

I've done a fair amount of camshaft testing over the years. The articles are on my website in the tech article section. www.arengineering.com is the address. I also covered the topic in my big block book.

It's not a 440 unless you're using RB rods.

The next 451 I build will have a 383 rod in it. Thats still a 1.75 L/R (440 rod has 1.80 L/R) That way, you dont have the wrist pin penetrating the oil ring land.
I use a 214/224 on a 114 for my street car. Really happy with it.
Its similar to a 300HP/327 chevy grind from the 60's. I got it from Crane. Dont know if you can get it anymore though.
