I used that cam in my 440 that I built for my '64 Polara. Unfortunately, I used the original '64 727 converter, a Dana 60 3.54 with 275/60/r15 tires and that made it a dog off the line. It also overheated in parade laps. I used the Stainless Steel Brake Manual master cylinder with the A-body disc brake conversion so that was not an issue. The answer I think is a looser converter (3000+)and more gear. With that you can have your A/C and power brakes. Good luck

I assume you are talking about the 108 LSA version. I think to answer this question we would have to know more about your setup.
Just as a point of reference, I have this cam (108LSA version) in a 416 SB stroker and I have power brakes and it works fine. I get about 14" of vacuum idling at 900-950rpms.
Your results will vary depending on your setup. I don't have AC so I can't comment on how this cam will work with AC. Others will have to chime in on that.

Well, I am trying to get a plan for my 1971 Roadrunner. I don't have matching# engine. What I do have is that cam mentioned in the title, a 62' 413 fresh bore .030 with low compression cast dish pistons, not built yet. I also have a 70' 383 needs rebuilt. I don't want anything crazy. Just a mild engine that would run on pump gas. Car will have 727 auto and 3.55 sure grip with 28 inch tire. Car will be used for fun, cruising around town, and to car shows. Looking for a good combination of medium power and mileage. Mileage not a big deal, just a thought. I have been told to put the 413 crank in my 383. Would 432 stroker be overkill for what I want? I am looking into 440source stealth heads, or just having the 906's rebuilt. Too many questions. I would really love some input from anybody that has actually done the 413/440 crank in a 383. Also some suggestions on a more modern cam that would work better for my setup, depending on whether I go with the 383, 413, or 432. I forgot to add, looking at aftermarket aluminum intakes, using the HP cast manifolds, dual snorkel air cleaner, that I have. Build my drivetrain, air cleaner to exhaust. Thanks TONS!!

Getting an engine to make power and be fun to drive is all about the combination. Your combination of a 284/484, low compression dished pistons do not go together at all. You will have no fun with this car, it will be a drag to drive, low power, bad fuel mileage, and be a lazy pig, been there. You need more compression, buy different pistons. Also not the best cam for power brakes and street driving, the low end power suffers, but will pull great mid range and up, with 10:1 compression, and a stall converter.
413 crank in the 383 is a good thing to do, but it will cost some $$ for pistons, block prep, and balancing.

484/284 & AC & PB isn't a good combo, too much duration & overlap for good low-RPM manners. I ran that cam in a 383 and it wanted a loose converter & more gear. Once it got some RPM, it was strong, but at low RPM not so much. The Engle grind I used in a 406" SB with AC & PB was 214/224 & .470/.504, CL was 110 or 112, and it pulled strongly, had great throttle response, 17" vacuum. Had a healthy sound. I'd do something like that, Stealths, 9.5:1, either crank. If you want to sell off the 413, it's worth a bit more with its proper crank, but the extra stroke would provide more no-fuss torque in the 383. Look at Ross, JE, Wiseco & 440Source for pistons. IIRC Stealths are 80cc chambers. Use the FelPro 1009 composite .039" head gasket, get the pistons near zero deck, have the assy balanced.

If I just rebuild the 383, .030 over, stock crank/rods(reconditioned), stealth heads, performer rpm(or just plain performer intake), cast HP manifolds. Is there a source for good pistons for it?
