Thank you ! I would like to go a touch hotter but wanted to get a idea what came originally as a starting point. Smallest cam I have ever run in a BB street car I've owned is the 509 so all these sound mild to me. Looks like Lunati has alot of choices available

on a 100% restored 426 wedge i'd be very careful about big cams with those exhaust manifolds. the intake manifold doesn't flow much air, a very small 4bbl, '516 heads that don' flow very good. my choices would be a mopar 272-.455, stock magnum, comp cams 21-304-5, or a summit 6401. any of these cams will need a valve spring change, but any cam change will need new springs.

FWIW, I ran the old Street Hemi grind in my 64 413 with stock intake and exhaust manifolds. I did upgrade to 906 heads though. With the original 3.23 gears it was somewhat soft off the line, when I put in 4.10's it really woke the combo up. This was a stick car too.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
