440 Cam help

I'm building a stock 69 440 for my Coronet.The cam I'm looking at is a Mopar Performance P4286677.
Specs are
Duration @ .050 inch lift 231int/231exh.
Advertised Duration 272int/272exh.
Intake and exhaust lift.455
Lobe Separation 112 degrees
Do you guys think this is a good cam?
Thanks in advance

The cam's actual 0.050" duration is 222. The 231, like every MP cam advertised specification @ 0.050" is wrong.

It is a good cam and will make more power than the factory original. I ran in the high 12s at 108 mph in a nearly stock 440 in my 4250 lb (at the time) Charger - no headers, no slicks, 3.23 gear and stock 12" converter.

I would use it again.

If you want a better - faster near stock cam, Contact Bob K.

I ran that cam in a 71 300 2dr with manifolds and 3.55 gears and it was very fun to drive.Lots of mid range and pulled well up to 5500 IIRC.Had a bit of idle but nothing lumpy by any means.

I'm no big block expert, but that cam looks like a good pick to me.

Absolutely great cam for completely stock set-up. Had one in a worn out 440 in 66 satellite, gobs of torque &good power to 5200-5500 rpm, low 13's in 1/4 mi. with 3.55's while starving for fuel at top of every gear.

In one of my cars I have a .484 purpleshaft with an RV converter and performer intake. It is a real nice steet set-up. Maybe a little to big if you want to go on long trips but for cruising it is nice. I hear the next one smaller (.474 I think) is nice also but I would go bigger than the cam you are asking about.

do you think that would mean a 280 MP cam ( rated at [Email]238@50[/Email] ) would be 228 or so ?

being proportional it looks it is... however I think somebody measured being 234@50

MP rule is 85% of the total duration is what is being rated as the 050 lift
