Rebuilding a stock 440 six pack engine. It's been a number of years since I did this and I recall the mopar performance stuff was junk. What manufacturer and camshaft are you engine guys using for a stock rebuild? I would even consider a step or 2 hotter, but want to keep stock exhaust and decent vacuum.

I second RR's suggestion of Summit Racing's cams. I have both cams and love them. I use the smaller cam in my pickup with an auto, stock convertor and 3.23 gears. It runs great. I use the bigger cam in a 66 b-body with factory high stall convertor, 3.55 gears. The specs are .445/.465 lift, 214/224 duration @.050 for the small cam and .466/.488 lift, 224/234 duration @.050 for the larger. They both have excellent street manners. The larger cam has a slight lope at idle and pulls hard in a 440 with 9.2 compression, 452 heads and factory intake. A little more compression, better heads and intake would really wake it up. this has been my experience. I would look no further than the 6401 cam with good lifters and crane 99839 springs.

I went with the Lunati 60302 cam in my wife's 440 six Pack Challenger. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lun-60302Fresh rebuilt 440 engine with Stealth aluminum heads and stock Six Pack setup. Mild Daaco HP converter and 3.23 rear. Engine is a great cruiser, lots of low and mid range power with great vacuum.

I second that Lunati cam. It's in my '71 GTX with a six barrel. "Mini Mayhem"-love what they call it.

Maybe Crower 271HDP. Allmost the same to the Lunati suggested but a bit more Exhaust duration and bit more Intake lift. I'm using 282HDP and is just a bit lumpy but plenty for a street car with A/C ( allmost street values on good vacuum and iddle ). So I think one step lower will be more stockish iddle if you want that

I installed a Hughes HEH 1928 BL . Very happy with it, Stock manifolds, 9.14:1 CR with quench pistons, 3.55 gears, 727, 6 bbl carbs. CR is a critical parameter when selecting a Camshaft. Jim
