Dave typical purple cam...big duration,min lift. go with a modern cam...like from hughes..i had a huge improvement w/ my swap.

Pulls a lot of vacuum and will work w/ 3.23's as long as you have a little converter. Otherwise he might want to try the mopar 474 or 528 solid.

Think im gonna run the .484 lift purple cam. with a 108 lobe seperation and 241 duration at .050 I think it will work pretty well. Anyone need a .533 cam?
